Tomás de Yepes or Hiepes (also known as Thomas de Yepes or Hiepes; 1595 or 1600 – 16 June 1674) was a Spanish Baroque painter in the Kingdom of Valencia. He worked as a painter of still life and bodegón, still life paintings depicting pantry items. He made paintings both for clients and public events.
Although his activity started in the second decade of the 17th century, most of the works attributed to him come after 1642. He continued to paint until the year of his death. Yepes's depictions of flower vases, fruits (particularly grapes), and everyday objects were prominent in the region during the 17th and 18th century, and he has been regarded as one of the major rediscoveries of art history.
He is best known for his distinctive style of flower painting that he focused on throughout his career. His paintings are exhibited in museums and in private collections worldwide, with Museo del Prado hosting the most extensive collection of his works.
