Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli

Later, in 1607, he began to work more independently, producing an altarpiece in Titulcia which, although generally done in his father's style, showed a glimmer of his own personality.

[1] After his father's death in 1614, he focused on his interest in architecture, working mostly in the Herrerian style, as practiced by Nicolás de Vergara el Mozo and Juan Bautista Monegro [es].

[1] He was also involved in a few somewhat less serious projects, such as designing a comedy theater called the "Mesón de la Fruta", which was demolished in the 1870s.

[3] He eventually came to financial ruin from a dispute with the Hospital de Tavera, where his father had left a major commission uncompleted.
