a Spanish Baroque painter. Márquez de Velasco was born in Puebla de Guzmán (Huelva). He moved at an early age to Seville with his uncle Fernando Marquez, currently an unknown painter, with whom he worked until 1672. His works show a strong dependence on the known art of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who was very popular at the time. He most likely worked in one of Murillo's workshops, which had a very abundant production of works.
