ABOUT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Most of Sebastian Herrera Barnuevo’s paintings were in Madrid.

His best are considered the "St. Barnabas" in El Esco-rial, the Beatification of St. Augustine in the Chapel of the Augustinian Recollects and the Nativity in the San Jerónimo el Real. Another of his paintings is Retrato de Carlos II niño con su madre la Reina Mariana de Austria (Portrait of King Carlos II as a child, with his mother Queen Mariana of Austria).

PAINTINGS BY HIM

CONCLUSION

I think that he was very devoted and interested in people and art. I think that he would have been very modest and concentrated in his work. He had a good view or art and never lost his interest. I re-spect him because he had made it possible for people to see and have a painting of themselves since there was no technology.
