Brief Biography-Pedro de Moya, born in Granada, was a disciple of Juan del Castillo and became a soldier in Flanders to study Rubens in Antwerp. However, the works of Van Dyke, who lived in England, influenced him greatly, and he crossed the channel to further his training in his school. Unfortunately, his stay was cut short after six months because of Van Dyke’s death; hence Moya took his skills to Seville, where his paintings gained him the highest esteem. Finally, he settled in Granada, where he stayed for the remainder of his days. His most noted work for the city’s churches was Conception in the church of Nuestra Senora de Gracia. |
