THE PAINTER GASPAR DE QUEVEDO, HIS APPRENTICESHIP IN SEVILLE AND NEW WORKS IN CANARY ISLANDS

Abstract

The canarian painter Gaspar de Quevedo was stablished at the beginings of the 1630s of the XVIIth century in Seville, from where he came back to Tenerife after he became a widow in 1649. This article illustrates his –until now supposed– pictoric training in the andalusian city, and unlock the identity of his master, Miguel Güelles, whom he concerted his apprenticeship in 1633. Further more this notice, wich obligates to reconsider his biographical itinerary, we propose to attribute three paintings than have been conservated in some temples of the islands –in Tenerife and Lanzarote–, that contribute to outline his catalogue and his artistic career in Andalusia and Canary Islands.
