Pedro Campaña

Pedro de Campaña ( pron. - Panja ) (* 1503 in Brussels, † 1580; really good Champagne or van de Velde, de Kempeneer ) was a Dutch painter.

He went early to Italy, formed after Raphael and Michelangelo, painted on his journey to Rome in Bologna those intended for the coronation of Charles V Triumphal Arch and moved to Seville, where he lived from 1548 at the latest later.

Towards the end of his life he should be returned to his native town, and died there in 1580. Campana combined the style of Raphael 's school with his earliest Dutch upbringing; from that he won a freer conception of form and composition, from this he retained a diligent implementation and a sophisticated color. For a completely free formed shape by hand signals and a deeper understanding of the general attitude, however, he did not bring it.

From his various works in Seville are obtained. His most famous is the representation of the Descent from the Cross in the great sacristy of the cathedral, which is said to have Murillo admired so much, but in which the main assembly of engraved by Marc Anton Raphael's composition is borrowed. More paintings are in the Mariscalkapelle the Cathedral and the altar of the Church of St. Anne in Triana, a neighborhood of Seville, which is the St. George's battle with the dragon in the middle. Surrounded is the altar of 15 pictures illustrating operations of the life of Mary.
