Matías de Arteaga y Alfaro

His paintings are mostly of the Virgin Mary, with architectural backgrounds.

They include two altarpieces in the conventual church of San Pablo.

He made engravings after various works by Valdés and Francisco Herrera the Younger, and one of St. Dominick after a drawing by Alonso Cano; also a St. Ferdinand by Murillo, for La Torre Farfan's account of the Seville festival in honour of St. Ferdinand; for which he likewise engraved views of the Giralda tower of Seville, and of the interior and exterior of cathedral.

He also executed a series of fifty-eight plates for the History of St. Juan de la Cruz, the first barefooted Carmelite.

He engraved a plate of the arms of the family of Arze for a book dedicated to a member of the house, in 1695.
