Gómez de Valencia, Felipe
(b Granada, c. 1634; d Granada, 1679 or 1694). Spanish painter. He was a pupil in Granada of Miguel Jerónimo Cieza (d 1677), who worked in a style derived from Alonso Cano. Almost all of Gómez de Valencias work has been lost or is inaccessible but various paintings said to be by him were formerly in churches in Granada, including the Surrender of Seville to St Ferdinand III (untraced) for the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites, and various pictures in the church of S Antón. A Pietà (Granada, Pal. Carlos V) attributed to him is derived from an engraving of a work by van Dyck; this painting may be the Dead Christ with Two Angels (untraced) mentioned by Ceán Bermúdez as being in the parish church of S Gil in Granada.
