Abstract


Over the past few years, certain foreign specialists of seventeenth century Spanish Baroque painting have maintained that in some of Murillo's works of «popular» subjects there exists a clear erotic content. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that such content is impossible on the grounds both of Murillo's own mentality and the control exerted by the Inquisition. Murillo always complied with the most rigorous moral principles in force during his lifetime, and the Inquisition was permanently vigilant regarding sinful sexual behavior.
