Navarrete, Juan Fernández de (b Logroño, c.1538; d Toledo, 28 Mar. 1579). Spanish painter from the Navarre region, called El Mudo (the mute) because he was deaf and dumb. He spent several years in Italy (where according to Palomino he was a pupil of Titian) and returned to Spain in about 1565. In 1568 he was appointed a court painter to Philip II (see Habsburg) and he spent most of the rest of his life painting altarpieces for the Escorial. His work was significant in spreading Italian influence in Spain.

Juan Fernández Navarrete

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

Juan Fernández Navarrete , 1526–79, Spanish religious painter, called El Mudo [the mute]. He studied in a monastery and later in Italy, perhaps with Titian. In 1568 he became court painter to Philip II, for whom he enriched the Escorial with eight fine altarpieces, among them Nativity, Abraham and the Three Angels (Escorial), and Baptism (now in the Prado). Through Navarrete, Venetian influence reached Spain. His later works combine sketchy distances with rich color and realistic foreground effects.
