Biography
Francisco Herrera (1576–1656) was a distinguished Spanish painter, born at Seville. He was the founder of the Seville school.
Works
Herrera's finest paintings include "The Last Judgment" and a "Holy Family," both in churches at Seville. Others are in the Louvre, Paris. They exhibit boldness of execution with faultless technique.

Among his other works are:
