Luis de Morales (1509 – 9 May 1586) was a Spanish painter active during the
Passion
.
Influenced by
Raphael Sanzio and the Lombard school of Leonardo da Vinci
, especially in his early work, he was called by his contemporaries "The Divine Morales" because of his skill and the shocking realism of his paintings, and because of the spirituality transmitted by all his work.
His work has been divided by critics into two periods, an early stage marked by the influence of Florentine artists such as
Prado Museum in Madrid holds around 22 paintings by Morales. Some of his works can also be seen at Salamanca's Cathedral and Museum in Plasencia and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando
in Madrid.
