These two great painters are remarkable for having lived in the same time, in the same school, painted from the same people, and of the same age, and yet to have formed two styles so different and opposite, that the most unlearned can scarcely mistake them ; •Murillo being all softness, while Velasquez is all sparkle and vivacity.
