Brief Biography-Antonio del Rincón was born in Guadalajara and studied in Rome. He became a Painter of the Bedchamber to Ferdinand and Isabel, the Catholics in Spain, who gave him the order of Santiago for his portraiture in the church of San Juan de Los Reyes in Toledo. He painted an altarpiece in the church of Robledo de Chavela, a town in the archbishopric of Toledo. Some of his works are in Granada and the Royal Apartments of Madrid. Unfortunately, many of his works perished in the fire at the Prado in 1608. Rincón is universally named the founder of the Spanish School.
