Pedro de Camprobín

Pedro de Camprobín Passano (1605, Almagro - 22 July 1674, Seville) was a Spanish Baroque painter who specialized in still-lifes; primarily flowers.

His father, Pedro, was a silversmith and his mother, Juana (née Passano) was descended from the Peroli brothers; painters from Genoa who had worked on the frescoes at the Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz [es].

It is presumed that he completed his training in Madrid with Juan van der Hamen, due to comparable stylistic elements in his early works.

Although he painted a wide variety of still lifes, his true specialty was floral arrangements; always presented in bowls or vases, with a casual look, and occasionally accompanied by living creatures, such as butterflies.

He has been credited with the painting, "Death and the Knight", at the Hospital de la Caridad; an attribution based on the arrangement and symbolic value of numerous everyday objects.
