Pablo Legote

Pablo Legote was a Spanish painter, who flourished in the early part of the 17th century.

During 1629-1636, he worked with Alonso Cano in painting and gilding in the church of Lebrija. There he painted an "Annunciation", "Nativity", "Epiphany", and depictions of St. John evangelist and baptist. In 1647 Cardinal Spinola, Archbishop of Seville, commissioned him to execute for the large hall of his palace a full-length series of apostles. A similar series, which hung in the church of the Hospital de la Piedad, was attributed to elder Herrera or Legote. He afterwards went to Cadiz, where he was employed in 1662 to paint banners for the royal fleet.
