Maître d'Avila

The Master of Ávila is the name given to an anonymous painter who was active in Ávila and its surroundings in the middle of the 15th century; he worked in the Flemish style of Fernando Gallego. The art historian Elías Tormo and others have tentatively identified him as García del Barco, a painter who was known to have been in Ávila between 1465 and 1473. No works by Barco have been attributed with any certainty.
