Francisco Ribalta

Francisco Ribalta (Solsona, Lleida, 2 June, 1565Valencia, 14 January, 1628) was a Spanish painter of the Baroque period, mostly of religious subjects.

He is also known as "Francisco Ribaltá" or "de Ribalta". While he initially apparently was apprenticed with Navarrete, who worked for years in the Escorial, his earliest work is a "Cruxifixion" of 1582, signed in Madrid. After his years in Madrid, Ribalta was to settle as an artist in Valencia. He became among the first followers in Spain of the austere tenebrist style of Caravaggio. It is unclear if he directly visited either Rome or Naples, where Caravaggio's style had many adherents. Alternatively, it is likely that tenebrist paintings were available in Spain by the early 1600s through the Spanish rule of the Neapolitan kingdom. Jusepe de Ribera is said to have been one of his pupils, although it is entirely possible that Ribera acquired his tenebrism when he moved to Italy.

The tenebrist style gathered a number of adherents in Spain, and was to influence the pre-eminent Baroque or Golden Age Spanish painters, especially Zurbarán, but also Velázquez and Murillo. Even the art of still life in Spain, the bodegón was often painted in a similar stark and austere style. Among the direct disciples of Francisco were his son, Juan Ribalta, and Vicente Castelló.
