Espinosa, Jerónimo Jacinto

(b Cocentaina, Alicante, bapt 20 July 1600; d Valencia, 1667). Spanish painter. He was the son of Jerónimo Roderiguez de Espinosa (1562–1638), a modest painter of Valladolid who in 1596 was established in Cocentaina and from 1612 in Valencia. He probably began his training in his father’s studio and by 1616 was a member of the Colegio de Pintores of Valencia. His earliest known work is the large Ransomed Christ (1623; Valencia, priv. col., see Pérez Sánchez, pl. 5), which depicts the miraculous ransoming of a statue of Christ that had been captured by Algerian pirates; its naturalism and tenebrist lighting are characteristic of his style, as is its sense of composition and colour, which is similar to that of his contemporaries Francisco and Juan Ribalta.
