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. He is known as El viejo, "the elder," to distinguish him from his son Francisco Herrera the Younger, also a noted painter. Among his pupils was Ignacio de Iriarte and a young Diego Velázquez. Among his other works are:
- San Diego (Saint James) (1637), Madrid, private collection
- Bebedor (1626), Worcester Art Museum
- Job (1636), 215 x 151 cm., Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.

- San Basilio dictando su doctrina (1639), 243 x 194 cm, Louvre
- Milagro del Pan y de los Peces (1647), Archbishop's Palace, Madrid
