His works are chiefly at, Cordova; in the cathedral is The Virgin and Infant, with St. Anna; also his admirable picture of The Last Supper. He died at Rome in 1608. He was a fine antiquarian, well acquainted with ancient and modern languages, and wrote several works on archaeological subjects. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. G n rale, s.v.; Spooner, Biog.
