José Claudio Antolinez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Claudio Antolinez (1639- 1676) was a Spanish painter of the Baroque period.
Born in Seville and died in Madrid. His early training as a landscape artists may have been under Iriarte, but later, when he moved to the court in Madrid, he entered the studio of Francisco Ricci. His '"haughty character and sarcastic personality gained him many enemies among his contemporaries". Some note he played maddening jokes on his colleagues Claudio Coello and Cabezalero as well as Itizi, who he called painter of wall ornaments, in allusion to the latter's decoration of the hall of comedies in the Palacio of Buen Retiro; but also impelled likely by his jealousy at lacking the same skill. He also painted religious paintings.
