Yriarte
Ignacio Yriarte
1621-1670
Ignacio Yriarte was born in the Basque country, in Azcoitia, (province of Guipúzcoa). He was active in Seville from 1642 until his death there in 1685. Although slightly Murillo’s junior, Yriarte may have influenced the landscape style of the leading master of the School of Seville who exclaimed that Yriarte could not have painted such excellent landscapes without divine inspiration. The landscape sections in Murillo’s Jacob series from the 1660s (Leningrad, Hermitage: Jacob’s Dream; Isaac Blessing Jacob) were, according to some writers, initially to have been executed by Yriarte, but then painted by Murillo himself. Considerable influence from Bloemart, Berchem, and other Netherlandish landscapists may be seen in Yriarte’s work.
