Juan de Arellano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juan de Arellano (3 August 1614 - 13 October 1676) was a Baroque era Spanish painter who specialized in floral pieces. Heavily influenced by Flemish and Italian painters, Juan de Arellano was considered an exceptional specialist in his realm. According to one of his colleagues, de Arellano decided to focus exclusively on floral paintings because it offered more pay while requiring less work [1]. Some of de Arellano's most famous pieces include Bouquet of Flowers (c.1660), and Garland of Flowers, Birds and Butterfly, currently on display at the Louvre.
