FRANCISCO COLLANTES Madrid? h. 1599 - 1656 “San Jerónimo penitente” Oil on canvas Measurements 111 x 92 cm Artist of great versatility in the outlook of Spanish painting of the first third of the 17th century. The few documentary references that have survived until today (Palomino, Ceán Bermúdez) testify that he was a disciple of Vicente Carducho. We must consider Francisco Collantes as a painter endowed with special qualities for the landscape genre, because of the numerous works that come from commissions of Buen Retiro. From this relationship with the courtly environment, the painter enjoyed an important network of clients. However, he also made some religious-themed works in which he manifests a great knowledge of riberesque naturalism and the Neapolitan currents (San Onofre, Museo del Prado, San Pedro, private collection). The work that concerns us is related to a San Jerónimo (oil on canvas, 128 x 102 cm) attributed to José de Ribera, today in the Museo del Prado that comes from the legacy Juan Gómez de Molina and Elio, II Marquis of Fontana.
