Juan de Zurbarán
Juan de Zurbarán (1620–1649) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Juan de Zurbarán was born in Llerena, Badajoz, the son of Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664), and joined in the workshop that his father owned in Seville, with which it is likely they collaborated on different paintings, including Still Life with Pots. The parental influence is evident in his work, but also his style reflects Dutch, Lombard and Neapolitan influences.
