Juan Valdelmira de Leon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juan Valdelmira de Leon was born in Navarre about 1630. He was instructed by his father at Valladolid, and after his death entered the school of Francisco Rizi at Madrid. He assisted that master in several of his works, particularly in the Portuguese church at Toledo, in the Retiro, and other places. But his chief excellence was in flowerpieces. He died in his thirtieth year.
