Juan de (b. ca. 1523, Fuente de la Higuera, d. 1579, Bocairente) |
| Juan de Juanes was a Spanish painter, the son of the painter Vicente Macip (c.1475-c.1545), who had almost certainly studied in Italy, and probably in Venice. Juanes painted 'ideal' Counter-Reformation images, based on Leonardo's Last Supper (engraved by Marcantonio) and Raphael's Madonnas, but also with some influence from Flanders, e.g. Quentin Massys. There are works in Madrid (Prado and Academy) and elsewhere in Spain. |
