Pablo Pontons

Pablo Pontons (1630 – 1691) was a Spanish

He was born in Valencia. His mother was from Murcia and was apparently related to Orrente. Although he was Pontons's primary influence, his earliest work also shows elements of composition and coloring reminiscent of Jerónimo Jacinto de Espinosa. Orrente's influence is easiest to see in works such as the main altar of the Iglesia de Santa María [es] in Morella, with its slightly anachronistic depiction of King James I celebrating the first mass after final conquest of Morella, and a scene showing Moses delivering the tablets of the law to the Israeli people, which is now at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Murcia [es].
