Juan de Espinosa

Juan de Espinosa, (active 1628 and 1659), Spanish Baroque painter specializing in still life painting.

A still life of silver pieces, using the same formula he used in 1612, was submitted to join the brotherhood of the Sacrament of the parish of San Sebastian in Madrid.

Stylistically a painter closely associated with the work of Juan van der Hamen, with the same sense of order and symmetry.

In the same hand as the Louvre are two separate oil fruit still life Museo del Prado and the dead bird life with the Museum of Córdoba, from three of the royal collections, all of which shows the same precious treatment of grapes, made based glazes, clear red and intonation.

More complex is the relationship established between the individual parts still life with grapes octagonal, signed in 1646, entered in 2006 at the Museo del Prado, which again appears a dead bird, but now in a diagonal, between bunches of grapes, pears, apples, some dried fruit and Mexican red clay pileup similar to that used in the still life of the Louvre.
