COELLO, ALONSO SANCHEZ (1515-1590)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COELLO, ALONSO SANCHEZ (1515-1590) , Spanish painter, according to some authorities a native of Portugal, was born, according to others, at Benifacio, near the city of Valencia. He studied many years in
Italy
 ; and returning to Spain in 1541 he settled at Madrid, and worked on religious themes for most of the palaces and larger churches. He was a follower of Titian, and, like him, excelled in portraits and single figures, elaborating the textures of his armours, draperies, and such accessories in a manner so masterly as strongly to
influence
 
Velazquez
  in his treatment of like objects. Many of his pictures were destroyed in the fires that consumed the Madrid and Prado palaces, but many good examples are yet extant, among which may be noted the portraits of the infantes Carlos and
Isabella
 , now in the Madrid gallery, and the St Sebastian painted in the
church
  of San Ger6nimo, also in Madrid. Coello left a daughter,
Isabella
  Sanchez, who studied under him, and painted excellent portraits.
