Juan de Solís

Juan de Solís (c.1598 - 30 September 1654, Madrid) was a Spanish painter and scenographer in the Baroque style.

[3] Around 1636, he began working as a court painter, creating stage decorations at the Buen Retiro Palace.

He made his name in this genre with a series of scenes to celebrate a visit by Francesco I, the Duke of Modena.

In 1639, he was commissioned by Luis Fernández to gild the altarpiece, decorate the Camarín de la Virgen, and paint some angels in the lunettes at the Iglesia del Buen Suceso, which was demolished in 1854.

[4] In 1647, as the Queen's painter, he signed a contract to decorate the chapel of Virgen del Amparo in Colmenar de Oreja.
