(b Valls, ?c.1415; d Barcelona, 1492). Spanish painter, the most prominent figure in the Catalan School during the second part of the 15th century. For most of his career he worked in Barcelona, where he had settled by 1448. He continued the Catalan tradition of Bernardo Martorell, but was highly individual in his characterization. His studio produced many sumptuous composite altarpieces of the type that became typical in Spanish art and his work exercised a wide influence on the painting of Catalonia and Aragon.
