Juan de Peñalosa

Juan de Peñalosa y Sandoval (7 November 1579 – 1633) was a Spanish painter of altarpieces, a priest and poet.

He sometimes used his full name, possibly for prestige reasons, as his grandfather was Francisco Bravo de la Rosa y Sandoval, who was a minor official at the time.

The first, in 1609, one San Francisco Cordoba penitent painted and sent to the Franciscan nuns in Salamanca.

From 1610 is the Assumption of the Virgin, canvas preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Córdoba, and from the Convent of the Holy Martyrs is the Last Supper dated 1613, also a copy of a previous Céspedes work.

The paintings of the St. Thomas Aquinas and Saint Peter Martyr, and a Lady of the Rosary with San Acisclus and Santa Victoria, the patron saints of Córdoba, in which there is an evolved color treatment, are found at the Santa Barbara Cordoba cathedral.
