Cristóvão de Morais was a 16th-century
Sebastian I of Portugal.[1]
He painted numerous portraits for the kings, queens, and princes of Portugal.
Life
When he was young, Morais studied in Antwerp. In 1554, he was appointed examiner of painters, an indicator of the degree of esteem in which he was taken by the court. In 1551, he decorated a bed for the queen's chamber D. Catherine, wife of D. John III, which was lost. In 1567 he painted the altarpiece of the church of the Convent of the Conception of Beja, also lost.
His best known works are the two portraits of King Sebastian, one located in Madrid and the other, very similar to the first, now located in the
mannerist
movement".
