Crossword Genius

He painted our mill anew (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

murillo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he painted' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'our mill anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' is an anagram indicator.
'our'+'mill'='ourmill'
'ourmill' with letters rearranged gives 'MURILLO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for murillo that I've seen before include "Span. painter" , "Spanish religious painter, 1618-82" , "Artist" , "Spanish painter of street arabs" , "17th century Spanish painter" .)
