Abstract
In the following pages, I set out to review the life as well as the painting of Juan Vicente de Ribera (Madrid, c. 1668-1736) in distinction to historical and artistical points of view. The situation of Spanish 17th and 18th painting historiography is compelled of monographic studies about its painters. That kind of studies are essential for an appropriate valuation of the last moments of the reignancy of Charles II and during Philip V, in which baroque painting in a 16th century tradition style got into 18th century until it disappeared with the new aesthetical guidances maintained by the Borbón Dinasty.
