Juan Rexach
Juan Rexach, (''Floruit, fl.'' 1431-1482) was a Spanish painter and miniaturist. His date of birth is not known. Most of his life is scarcely documented. He studied with Jacomart, in whose studio he worked, and after a period of time Rexach succeeded his master. He completed some altarpieces left incomplete by Jacomart, and worked with him on certain commissions, so sometimes attributions can be difficult.

Although his works are markedly Spanish, they also reflect influences of other European artistic style, especially Flanders. His famous painting, ''The Crucifixion'', resembles the work of Gerard David. The architecture shown in the painting is northern.
