Francesc
Ribalta (2 June 1565 – 14 January 1628), also
known as Francisco Ribaltá orde Ribalta, was a
Spanish painter of the
Baroque period, mostly of religious
subjects. He was born in
Solsona, Lleida. Although his first
apprenticeship was apparently with
Navarrete, who worked for years in
the
Escorial, Ribalta's earliest work (a
Cruxifixionof 1582) was signed in
Madrid.
After his years in Madrid, Ribalta was to settle as an artist in
Valencia. He became among the first followers in Spain of the
austere
tenebrist style of
Caravaggio. It is unclear if he directly visited
either
Rome or
Naples,
where Caravaggio's style had many adherents. Alternatively, it is
likely that tenebrist paintings were available in Spain by the
early 17th century through the Spanish rule of the Neapolitan
kingdom.
Jusepe de Ribera is said to have been
one of his pupils, although it is entirely possible that Ribera
acquired his tenebrism when he moved to Italy.
The tenebrist style gathered a number of adherents in Spain, and
was to influence the pre-eminent Baroque or
Golden
Age Spanish painters, especially
Zurbarán, but also
Velázquez and
Murillo. Even the art of
still life in Spain, the
bodegón, was often painted in a similar stark and
austere style. Among the direct disciples of Francisco were his
son,
Juan Ribalta, and
Vicente
Castelló. Ribalta died in
Valencia on 14 January 1628.
