Fray Pedro Bedón Díaz de Pineda (1556 [julian] – 1621)[1] was a South American Dominican friar and painter of the Quito school.
Fray Pedro Bedón was born in 1556 in Quito, then part of the Viceroyalty of Peru (present-day Ecuador).
He entered the novitiate of the Dominican order at the age of fourteen, completed his studies in Lima, and was then appointed professor of philosophy in the college of that city.
Several of his works are in the convents of Quito and Santa Fe, and are said to justify the title his countrymen gave him of the Fra Angelico of Ecuador.
In 1619 he was chosen provincial of his order, which office he held until his death in Quito in 1621.
