Castillo painted many pictures of great merit for the cathedral of Cordova, the best of which are St. Peter and St. Paul, and The Assumption. There is a picture by him in the convent of St. Francis at Cordova, representing a subject from the life of that saint. His death occurred in 1667. See Spooner, Biog.
