Murillo: From Heaven to Earth

September 18, 2022–January 29, 2023

For the first time in modern history, ordinary people—beggars, street urchins, and flower girls—are cast as the main characters of  the cultural narratives and written tales of Murillo's time.  Experience the artist’s masterful blending of the sacred and the secular, the earthly and the divine—only on view at the Kimbell.
