Juan de Arellano

1614-1676 Spain/Baroque

 

Brief Biography-Juan de Arellano was born in Santorcaz. He specialised in still life paintings of flowers and first studied art in the city of Alcalá de Henares. His primary influence came from Daniel Seghers and Jan Brueghel, the Elder. He began painting floral still lifes at thirty-six when he realised they were easier to brush and more profitable than other genres by his standards. The Italian still-life painter Mario Nuzzi was a further inspiration for Arellano. He set up shop in Madrid, where he vended paintings for most of his life.
