Excerpt from The Saturday Magazine, Vol. 19: July to December, 1841 After spending a few years in this way, and in private stud a circumstance occurred which had great in¿uence on e mind of Murillo. One of his fellow scholars, Pedro de Moya, in¿uenced by a strong desire to travel in foreign countries, had abandoned the school of Cas tillo, and gone to Flanders as a private soldier, but happening to see many of the pictures of Vandyck, all his lovegfor his former profession returned, and he was most anxious to become a pupil of that celebrated master. Moya accordingly went to London, where Vandyck resided, became ill! Pupil, and soon succeeded in working in the style of his master, but his im rovement was checked by the death of Vandyck, and oya returned to Spain. Murillo saw, and was surprised at that chaste, and to him hitherto unknown manner, which Moya had acquired, and became anxious to visit Flanders or Italy, in order to obtain the same advantages. But his pecu niary means were very limited, -he was without friends and patrons, - men of greater name or pretension had hitherto stood between him and reputation. But he worked diligently for a short time, and produced several works, which he sold at the Feria, and, without commu nicating his intentions to any one, he quitted Seville for Ital in the twenty-fourth year of his age.
