"Beggar Boys Eating Grapes and Melons" is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1645–1655. This work is one of Murillo's most famous genre paintings, in which he depicts scenes of everyday life with a particular focus on the street urchins and beggar children of his native Seville. The painting is renowned for its realistic portrayal of the subjects, capturing their playful expressions and the tactile quality of their ragged clothing with a compassionate and humanizing eye.

The composition features two boys seated on a step, engrossed in the act of eating fruit. The boy on the left is depicted biting into a bunch of grapes, while the other is slicing a melon, with both fruits being traditional symbols of abundance and earthly pleasures. The painting's charm lies in its candid representation of the boys' enjoyment and the detailed rendering of the textures and colors of the fruits, which contrast with the poverty suggested by the boys' tattered clothes.

Murillo's skill in using light and shadow to create a sense of volume and space is evident in this work, as is his ability to convey the varied textures of skin, fabric, and foodstuffs. The artist's empathetic approach to his lower-class subjects is characteristic of his oeuvre and reflects the Counter-Reformation ideals of charity and concern for the poor that were prevalent in 17th-century Spain.

"Beggar Boys Eating Grapes and Melons" is not only a masterful example of Murillo's genre painting but also an important document of the social conditions of the time. The painting is held in high esteem for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the understanding of Spanish Baroque art and society. It remains a testament to Murillo's legacy as one of the most important and influential painters of his era.
