Spanish painter (b. ca. 1590, Sevilla, d. 1656, Madrid). Spanish painter. His early works are in the Mannerist style. Under the influence of Francisco Zurbaron, he developed the naturalistic style seen in his four scenes from the life of St. Bonaventure (1627). About 1650 he moved to Madrid. His last documented work, a painting of St. Joseph (1648) influenced by Anthony Van Dyck, features elongated forms and elaborate draperies. He achieved considerable fame in Sevilla, where Diego Velezquez was briefly his pupil.   Related Paintings of HERRERA, Francisco de, the Elder :. | St Joseph and the Child sr | St Basil Dictating His Doctrine (mk05) | St Bonaventure Joins the Franciscan Order g | St Catherine Appearing to the Prisoners sf | Stigmatisation of St Francis |
