Biography
Medoro was thought to have studied art in Rome, followed by travelled to Seville, and to New Kingdom of Granada (present-day Colombia).[3] His only surviving European artwork was the painting "Flagellation of Christ" (1586) in Seville.[3]
Medoro, alongside Bernardo Bitti, and Matteo da Lecce (or Matteo Pérez de Alesio in Spanish) were the three founders of Peruvian colonial painting.[4] His earliest work in the Americas was Virgen de la Antigua (1587–1588) in the Santo Domingo church in Bogotá. In 1617, he painted a portrait of Saint Rosa of Lima at Santuario Santa Rosa de Lima (also known as Church of Santa Rosa in Lima).[5]
His students included Pedro de Loayza (or Pedro Loayza), Luis de Riaño, and Juan de Mesa.[3][6]
Medoro returned to Spain after 1620, and died in Seville in 1631.
