Epiphany
Francisco Herrera (1576–1656) was a distinguished Spanish painter, born at Seville. He was the founder of the Seville school. Herrera's finest paintings include "The Last Judgment" and a "Holy Family," both in churches at Seville. Others are in the Louvre, Paris. They exhibit boldness of execution with faultless technique. He is known as El viejo, "the elder," to distinguish him from his son Francisco Herrera the Younger, also a noted painter. Among his pupils was Ignacio de Iriarte and a young Diego Velázquez.
Among his other works are:
San Diego (Saint James) (1637), Madrid, private collection
Bebedor (1626), Worcester Art Museum
Job (1636), 215 x 151 cm., Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.
La Parentela de Jesús, Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao
San Basilio dictando su doctrina (1639), 243 x 194 cm, Louvre
Milagro del Pan y de los Peces (1647), Archbishop's Palace, Madrid
Ciego tocando la zampoña (1650), Kunsthistorische Museum, Vienna
