Abstract

This paper examines new works and documents related to Pedro de Villegas Marmolejo (c. 1519-1596), one of the key fi gures in sevillian painting in the second half of the XVIth Century: the contracts for the sculpture and painting for the Virgen de los Remedios altarpiece in the sevillian parish church of San Vicente, signed by Jerónimo Hernández and Villegas; a new altarpiece by Villegas in the parish church of Lucena del Puerto (Huelva); and fi nally, two panel paintings, the fi rst one recently auctioned as a work of Luis de Vargas, and the last one preserved in the neapolitan church of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli.
