Abstract

The paintings of the Sevillian artist Lucas Valdes, one of the most interesting artists of the transitional period between the seventeenth and eighteenth century local school of painting, are slowly coming to light and being identified. His style, which is a distant echo of the Baroque intensity of bis father Juan Valdes Leal, is distinguished by its tone of restraint, at times brimming over with personality. This recent discovery of six works by Lucas Valdes helps to place bis sphere of activity in both Sevilla and the city of Cadiz, where he lived from 1719 till 1725, the year of bis death.
