Details

Spanish painter, active in Zaragoza, the capital of Aragón, during the third quarter of the 17th century. According to the contemporary biographer Antonio Palomino, he had a 'very special skill' for painting flowers. The unknown painter of a corpus of over forty still-lifes by the same hand, named as 'Pseudo-Hiepes' on account of the paintings' stylistic affinities with the work of the Valencian still-life painter Tomás Hiepes, was identified with Bernardo Polo. //
