L. Bensusan is a biography written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1910.

It delves into his artistic journey, the evolution of his style, and his significant role in shaping Spanish art, particularly through his religious paintings. In this book, Bensusan portrays Murillo as a deeply human artist whose work reflects the spirit of Andalusia and the devout Catholic faith of his time. Through detailed examinations of specific masterpieces, the author highlights Murillo’s transition from a struggling artist to a celebrated painter. The narrative covers his early life, his training under Juan del Castillo, and his eventual prominence as a key figure in the art world, particularly within religious institutions.
