JERÓNIMO SÁNCHEZ COELLO: A DISCIPLE OF TITIAN IN SEVILLE In this paper the authors present unpublished documents relating to the life and work of the painter Jerónimo Sánchez Coello, brother of the famous court painter to Philip II, Alonso, during his residence in Seville toward the end of the 16th century, following his artistic training in Titian’s workshop
Independientemente del influjo técnico del veneciano en la pintura de Jerónimo –y, por extensión, en la sevillana, que no se constata si no puntualmente y en fechas más tardías58–, en obras de Tiziano como las que pudo traer a la capital andaluza y, de un modo más frecuente en los grabados de su obra, los artistas encontraron “el esquema compositivo, la solución iconográfica propuesta por el pintor veneciano que se demostró evidentemente válida por mucho tiempo para la piedad española”59
Summary
JERÓNIMO SÁNCHEZ COELLO: A DISCIPLE OF TITIAN IN SEVILLE In this paper the authors present unpublished documents relating to the life and work of the painter Jerónimo Sánchez Coello, brother of the famous court painter to Philip II, Alonso, during his residence in Seville toward the end of the 16th century, following his artistic training in Titian’s workshop. Podemos conocer aspectos como su dedicación a diferentes géneros pictóricos; su trabajo al servicio de una selecta clientela local, que pensamos le consideró por ser conocedor y fiel seguidor de Tiziano; su exportación de pinturas a América; y, finalmente, las obras que poseyó el artista, entre las que, según él mismo declara, figuraban lienzos del maestro veneciano.
