Mazo, Juan Bautista Martínez del QUOTE from: website: www.artnet.com (b Cuenca Province, ( Baptised: May 22, 1605 -or Cuenca Province,; d Madrid, 9 Feb 1667). Spanish painter. He is generally believed to have been born in the province of Cuenca, as his father was from Alarcón and his mother from Beteta. The first record of him concerns his marriage on 21 August 1633 to Francisca Velázquez, the daughter of DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ. From this it can be assumed that Mazo was then already a disciple of Velázquez, and from that date he was closely associated with his father-in-law. Velázquez, who then held the position, arranged for Philip IV to appoint Mazo as Ujier de Cámara in 1634, and Mazo and his bride are known to have lived in the same house as Velázquez. |
