Antonio Richarte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Richarte (1690–1764) was a Spanish painter.

He was born at Yecla. He was educated for a learned profession, but he preferred painting, which he studied under Senén Vila [es] at Murcia, and afterwards at Madrid with Miguel Jacinto Meléndez [es]. He was very popular at Valencia, where he was much employed in painting processional banners for the guilds of that city.
