Spanish Baroque Era Painter, ca.1590-1641 Spanish painter. Details of his life are scarce. He is documented in Madrid and Toledo between 1612 and 1626, and while he is recorded as having painted religious pictures and portraits (untraced), he is only known today for his still-life paintings. Documents relating to another artist of the same name, known as Juan de Espinosa, dating from 1645 to 1677, concern a different painter.  Related Paintings of Juan de Espinosa :. | Still Life with Grapes (san 05) | surrounded by a wreath of flowers and fruit | Floral still life arranged in conch shell | Bodego ochavado con racimos de uvas | Still-Life with Shell Fountain and Flowers |
