Childhood
Murillo was likely born in December of 1617. It is clear that he was baptized in Santa Maria Magdalena, a parish in Seville on January 1st, 1618, the youngest son in a family of fourteen. His father, Gaspar Esteban, was an accomplished barber and surgeon. In fact, he would later inherit multiple estates near the church of San Pablo from his father, and he would collect rent from these properties for nearly his entire life. By 9 y After his parents died in 1627 and 1628, he became a ward of his sister's husband, Juan Agustín Lagares. He would remain close with the couple for many years. He did not move out of their house until his marriage in 1645, and he would later be named the executor of Lagares' will, despite his sister, Ana, having already died. Murillo seldom used his father's surname, and instead took his surname from his maternal grandmother, Elvira Murillo.
