Spanish school; studied in Valencia and afterwards in Italy, where he was influenced by the works of Raphael, Sebastian del Piombo, and the Carracci. On his return to Spain he was received with honour and patronage, and painted many pictures for the churches and convents of Valencia. His best works are remarkable for grandeur and freedom of drawing, good taste in composition, and knowledge of anatomy. Among his best scholars were his son Juan, Gregorio Castañeda, and Spagnoletto. Cean Bermudez gives a list of six pages of his works. Among the best are: Dead Christ and Angels, St. Francis, Blessed Soul, Lost Soul, Madrid Museum; St. Francis embracing Christ, Assumption, St. Peter the Apostle, Conception, St. John Baptist, and others, Valencia Museum; The Virgin and St. John walking homeward from the Sepulchre, Old Pinakothek, Munich; St. Joachim and St. Ann, Christ on the Cross (1582), The Magdalen at the Sepulchre, Hermitage, St. Petersburg.—Stirling, i. 491; Viardot, Peintres de l'Espagne, 145; Ch.

RIBALTA, JUAN DE, born in Valencia in 1597, died there, Oct. 10, 1628. Spanish school; son and pupil of Francisco de Ribalta, and painted so nearly in his father's style that their works are often confounded.
