Juan Correa de Vivar

Juan's body was taken back to Mascaraque, where he was buried in the same plot where his parents were laid to rest.

One of his most important works was the altarpiece of the church of Almonacid de Zorita, in the province of Guadalajara.

Over the years his style evolved into more dynamic forms of Mannerism, especially with respect to the way to bring about violent movement in the figures.

For example, Juan's paintings for the greater altarpiece of Clarisas of Nectarine, dated between 1532 and 1534, were funded by his uncle Don Rodrigo de Vivar.

Included works in these early years are also the table of the Birth of the Santa María de Guadalupe monastery[4] and the altarpiece of identical subject that Juan did for Guisando, which today can be found in both the Museo del Prado and the Museum of Santa Cruz, Toledo.

There were also highly admired altarpieces that were taken after the ecclesiastical confiscation of 1836 and given to the Prado, other pinacotecas like those of Saragossa or Vigo, and churches like San Jerónimo el Real of Madrid.
