Attributed to Matías de Arteaga (Villanueva de los Infantes, 1633 - Seville, 1703) "The Adoration of the Magi" Oil on canvas. 62 x 83 cm. Painter and engraver, son of the engraver Bartolomé Arteaga, he developed his artistic activity in Seville, especially linked, between 1660 and 1673, to the academy founded by Murillo, where he not only attended but also contributed economically and of which he was secretary in 1666 and consul three years later. As we read in the Royal Academy of History article, "In his art he showed a singular interest in perspective and broad settings. He probably had a very active workshop, since there are many artworks that, in regard to his style, have very different qualities. Among his paintings are important cycles such as the canvases of the Life of Saint Laurianfrom circa 1670 in the chapel of the saint in the cathedral of Seville, and the Eucharistic Series of the Sacramental Brotherhood from 1690. He also painted a series on the Life of the Virgin Mary, keptin the Museum of Seville, and another on the Life of Jesus Christ, some of the canvases of which are mentioned in private collections in Madrid. As an engraver he made covers and illustrations for books, the most outstanding among them being those of the book of Fernando de la Torre Farfán entitled "Fiestas de la S. Iglesia metropolitana y patriarcal de Sevilla al nuevo culto del señor Rey San Fernando" from1671. He was also an engraver ofreproductionsofcanvases of the great masters of Seville, such as Murillo, Herrera, el Mozo, Alonso Cano and Valdés Leal, among others".
