Throughout his career, Murillo developed his own style characterized by a softness in the color palette and an ability to capture tenderness and humanity in his religious subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurillo is known for his treatment of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/immaculate-conception-venerables-murillo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eImmaculate Conception\u003c\/a\u003e, a recurring theme in his work, where he employed celestial light and delicate colors to represent the purity of the Virgin. This approach influenced later artistic movements, such as the Rococo, which adopted his use of color and light to create ethereal environments. Furthermore, his depictions of beggar children and everyday life scenes in Seville had a lasting impact on the development of social \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/realism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003erealism\u003c\/a\u003e in European painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurillo also left a significant mark on the Academy of Fine Arts in Seville, contributing to the training of future artists.
