Fernando del Rincón
Spanish, b. 1460
Fernando del Rincón is a Spanish High Renaissance painter. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Museo del Prado, most of them oil paintings. Fernando del Rincón was born in Guadalajara.
Fernando del Rincón had a habit of painting people exactly as they were, no flattery, no fuss. The wrinkles around someone’s eyes? The creases in their sleeves?
He left them all in. In Miracles of the Doctor Saints Cosmas and Damian, he painted a cloud of floating hands healing a patient without a single dramatic flourish. That’s his trick: making the miraculous feel ordinary. Look up his portrait of Don Francisco Fernández de Córdoba y Mendoza, you’ll see a man who looks ready to step out of the frame and ask you what’s for dinner.
