Francisco Herrera the Elder
- Francisco Herrera the Elder
Francisco Herrera (1576-1656) was a distinguished Spanish painter, born at Seville. He was the founder of the Seville school.
Herrera's finest paintings include "The Last Judgment" and a "Holy Family," both in churches at Seville. Others are in the Louvre, Paris. They exhibit boldness of execution with faultless technique. He is known as "El viejo", "the elder," to distinguish him from his son, also a noted painter. Among his pupils was Ignacio de Iriarte and a young Diego Velázquez.
