Jusepe de Ribera Biography

Spain Baroque artist
born 1591 - died 1652

Also known as: José de Ribera.
Teacher of: Luca Giordano (1634-1705)Jusepe de Rivera was born in Játiba, near Valencia, where he was probably trained by Francisco Ribalta (1565-1628). In 1612-1613, Rivera left for Italy, where the painter led the life of a half-beggar, constantly traveling throughout the country.

During his travels to Parma, Padua and Rome, the painter became acquainted with the paintings of Raphael, Correggio, Titian and Veronese.
In 1616, Jusepe de Ribera settled in Naples, then owned by Spain, and developed a style, which owed much to Caravaggio. In Naples, Ribera became a painter to the Spanish Viceroy and later to his successor, the Duke of Monterrey, who procured commissions from the Augustine monastery in Salamanca (Nativity, Pietà, The Virgin with Saints Anthony and Augustine. 1631-1635).

He subsequently abandoned the dark and somber style, finding new ways of treating light and using brilliant colors.

His Boy with a Clubfoot is typical of his more mature style, both thematically and in terms of pictorial composition. During this period of realism Jusepe de Ribera had a leaning towards harrowing subjects, the crippled and malformed.
Ribera spawned a school of his own. Italian, Spanish and Flemish artists were engaged in his workshop, and while Rivera was of particular importance to Neapolitan art, great painters, such as Rembrandt and Velásquez, also found him an inspiration.
Jusepe de Ribera painter died in Naples in 1652.
