PACHECO, FRANCISCO (1571-1654)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 432 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
PACHECO, FRANCISCO (1571-1654) , Spanish painter and art historian, was
born
  at
Seville
  in 1571. Favourable specimens of his
style
  are to be setn in the Madrid picture gallery, and also in two churches at Alcala de Guadaira near
Seville
 . He attained
great
  popularity, and about the beginning of the 17th
century
  opened an
academy
  of
painting
  which was largely attended. Of his pupils by far the most distinguished was
Velazquez
 , who afterwards became his son-in-law. From about 1625 he gave up
painting
  and betook himself to literary society and pursuits; the most important of his works in this department is a treatise on the art of painting (Arte de la pintura: su antigiiedad y grandeza, 1649), which is of considerable value for the information it contains on matters
relating
  to Spanish art. He died in 1654.
