Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo

c. 1612-1667 Spain/Baroque

 

Brief Biography-Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo was considered a native of Madrid. He was a student of Deigo Velázquez, who became his future father-in-law in 1633. He was a painter of landscapes and portraits who Velázquez highly influenced. According to Antonio Palomino, copies of his master’s works and that of Tintoretto, Veronese and Titian, could have passed as the originals. In 1661, he became the successor to Velázquez as court painter, which he held for the remainder of his life.
