El obrador de miguel de santiago en sus primeros años: 1656-1675

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study of the atelier of the painter from Quito, Miguel de Santiago, during the first two decades of its existence. The paper discusses the life of his collaborators, their relationship with Santiago and his work. In this paper the figures of Simón de Valenzuela, Bernabé Lobato, and brother Alonso Vera de la Cruz y Carreño, practically unknown until now, are studied. Likewise, these painters' intervention in the first series of paintings by Miguel de Santiago is analyzed, as well as the master's influence on his pupils and their artistic skills. The elected timeframe in the title, between 1656 and 1675, responds to the dates for which there is documentation on the first collaborators of Miguel de Santiago.
