Sebastián Muñoz (painter)

[1] By January 1680, he had come to Madrid, assisting Claudio Coello with decorations to celebrate the arrival of Marie Louise d'Orléans, the new wife of King Charles II.

On his return to Spain, he stopped in Zaragoza, where he once again served as an assistant to Coello, painting frescoes in the Iglesia de la Mantería [es].

Once back in Madrid, in 1686, he worked at the Royal Alcázar, where he painted the ceiling of the Queen's room with a scene from Orlando Furioso.

[2] At the Buen Retiro Palace, he worked on decorations for the private rooms of the new Queen, Maria Anna of Neuburg.

It was later completed by Francisco Ignacio Ruiz de la Iglesia [es], who made an effort to preserve Muñoz' style throughout.
