Ribera, José (Jusepe) De
Spanish painter. He was active in Italy from 1616 under the patronage of the viceroys of Naples. His early work shows the impact of Caravaggio, but his colours gradually lightened. He painted many full-length versions of saints as well as mythological figures and genre scenes, which he produced without preliminary drawing.
Although Ribera never abandoned his brown shadows, he made some progress towards richness and luminosity of colour in his mature work, of which the Martyrdom of St Bartholomew about 1639 (Prado, Madrid) is an example. One of his last paintings, Boy with a Club Foot 1652 (Louvre, Paris), is a masterpiece of realism.
