Biography

Born in La Font de la Figuera, he is thought to have studied his art for some time in Italy due to Sebastiano del Piombo's influence, with which school his affinities are closest, but maybe he never went to Italy, and he received this influence by the Italian peintures arriving to Valencia. Furthermore, two Italian painters Paolo da San Leocadio and Francesco Pagano, wer

To recount a bit of the history of Spanish painting during the 16th century, it is necessary to go back to the last years of the 15th, when the Valencian school turned its course towards the Italian Renaissance. This change towards more Italian influences happened amidst an environment of predominantly Flemish styles. As we shall see, the Valencian school continued along this Italian-influenced path throughout the 16th century. In contrast to the Valencian school, the Catalan school partially assimilated the new current but showed works with clear provincial influences.

The first great Castilian painter fully imbued with the Renaissance was Pedro Berruguete, Alonso’s father. Born as his son in Paredes de Nava, before 1477 he had been in Italy at the court of the Duke of Urbino Federico III da Montefeltro, where he probably painted in collaboration with Justo de Gante (Justus van Gent) and Melozzo da Forli.

Vicente Masip

Spanish painter

Vicente Masip (also Maçip) (1475 in Andilla – 1545 in Valencia) was a Spanish painter of the Renaissance period. His son was Vicente Juan Masip, and his grandson was named Vicente Masip Comes, also known as Vicent de Joanes.

Born in Andilla, he was influenced by Paolo de San Leocadio and Rodrigo de Osona on the Quattrocento style. He is considered a Quattrocento painter. One of his early works was the altarpiece of Porta-Coeli in the Museu de Belles Arts de València. He was also responsible for the old high altar of the Segorbe Cathedral between 1529 and 1532, perhaps already counting on the help of his son Juan, which would explain the change in the orientation of his painting. He is also attributed the altarpiece of the Virgin of the Remedy of the Church of San Bartolomé de Benicarlo. It is a painting of the Virgin and Child Enthroned surrounded by various saints.

The Museo del Prado owns, among others, two of his paintings representing the Visitation and the Martyrdom of St. Agnes, executed for the chapel of St. Thomas of Villan
