Lot description
Signed and dated lower right: "MEDORVS ANGELINVS/ROMANVS. FACIEBAT.A.D.1586" A very important painter for the development of the art of painting in the New World. Born in Rome, he soon moved to Seville and later, in 1587, to Santafé, in the New Kingdom of Granada. There he carried out a prolific activity, receiving numerous commissions. He also worked in the viceroyalty of Peru before returning to Seville in 1622. The present work is of great importance for the study of Medoro's oeuvre, as it is the only work signed and dated in Europe and documents his first stay in Seville in 1586, just before he embarked for America.
