Joannesor Juanes Vincente

Joannes, or Juanes, Vincente, was born at Valencia, Spain, in 1523 (or 1506). He studied painting in Rome, and may be regarded as the founder of the Valencian School. His works, chiefly religious, adorn the churches of his native town, and several fine examples exist in the galleries of the Madrid Museum. He died in 1579.
