Esteban Márquez de Velasco (1652–1696) was a Spanish Baroque painter.

Biography

Márquez de Velasco was born in Puebla de Guzmán (Huelva). He moved at an early age to Seville with his uncle Fernando Marquez, currently an unknown painter, with whom he worked until 1672. His works show a strong dependence on the known art of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who was very popular at the time. He most likely worked in one of Murillo's workshops, which had a very abundant production of works.

Works

The signed and dated works, from which it has been possible to set his style, however, are rare and late date:
