José Claudio Antolinez (1635 – 30 May 1675) was a Spanish painter of the
Baroque period.
Career and personality
Antolinez was born and died in
Madrid. He received his early training at the studio of
Francisco Rizi.
His "haughty character and sarcastic personality gained him many enemies among his contemporaries". Some note he played maddening jokes on his colleagues
Claudio Coello and
Cabezalero as well as Itizi, whom he called painter of wall ornaments, in allusion to the latter's decoration of the hall of comedies in the
Palace of Buen Retiro; but also impelled likely by his jealousy at lacking the same skill.[citation needed] Antolinez also painted religious paintings.
