Bernardo Germán De Llórente
Bernardo Germán de Llórente (1685 – 1757) was a Spanish painter of the late-Baroque period. He was active in Seville where he was one of the followers of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Murillo and made a name with his devotional paintings of the Virgin Mary. He also painted portraits and still lifes with trompe-l'œil effects. Life Bernardo Germán de Llórente was born and died in Seville. He likely first studied with his father and was then a pupil of Cristobal López (18th century), Cristóbal López, a modest 'market painter' who was considered a follower of Murillo. He learned from his master to adequately imitate the palette of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Murillo. Father Isidoro de Sevilla, a Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, capuchin missionary, commissioned from him a ''Virgin in shepherd dress''. This painting brought him fame and many similar requests. He so frequently painted the Virgin Mary as a shepherdess that he was called the “painter of shepherdesses ('el pint ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

18th-century Spanish Male Artists
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.

People From Seville
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Lorenzo Quiros

He returned to Seville, where he remained for twenty years without ever acquainting anyone with his place of residence. He sold copies of the works of Murillo. He left works at Madrid, at the Royal Academy of San Fernando, at Canalla, Granada, Xeres and Seville.
