Pedro de Moya (um/c 1619 - 1674)

Moya is a representative of the Granada baroque school of painting, to the renewal of which he is said to have contributed. Training with Juan del Castillo in Seville, military service in Flanders and a period in London are not documented, but his marriage in Motril in 1644 is. He moved to Granada, where his workshop was already flourishing in 1650. He was close friends with the Vargas family of artists, and was witness at the baptism of Dionisio Gabriel de Varga’s child in 1661. His work – presumably extensive, and in ecclesiastical circles with relevant subjects – is little known.
