about 1576, died in Madrid in 1656. Spanish school; pupil of Luis
Fernandez, but disdaining to imitate him, adopted a free bold style,
and became one of the most original and famous artists of his time in

students, among whom was Velasquez, but his temper was so violent
that he was abandoned by even his children. Accused of coining false
money, he took refuge in the Jesuits’ College, Seville, where he
painted a noble altarpiece, St. Hermengild in Glory, now in the
Seville Museum. Philip IV. on seeing this picture granted him a free
pardon. In 1650 he settled in Madrid. Other works: Last Judgment, S.

altarpieces for churches. In 1660 he aided in founding the Academy
at Seville, of which Murillo was chosen president and Herrera second
or vice-president; but, displeased at this inferior position, he
went in 1661 to Madrid, where he became painter to Philip IV. and
superintendent of the royal works (1671). Named royal painter to
