Sebastián Martínez Domedel. Un pintor giennense del seiscientos

Abstract

Sebastian Martinez Domedel is the most prominent exponent of the Baroque painting of Jaén. The eclecticism of his palette and the versatility of his style have hampered the study of his work. However, the correction of his drawing, his taste for Mannerist compositions and the way he darkens of his works, are the hallmark of an artistic personality set to a constant and continuous training process developed during the trips he made to Cordoba and Madrid. It was also decisive his contact, both direct and indirect, with other great artists of the time such as Ribera, Antonio del Castillo, Alonso Cano and Velazquez. This Doctoral Thesis aims to deepen the knowledge about life and to implement the keys to his style.
