Lobo, Filipe
( fl Lisbon, 1650–73). Portuguese painter. He was active in the Irmandade de S Lucas, the guild of painters of Lisbon, where he occupied various posts. He may have been a follower of Dirk Stoop, who worked in Portugal between 1659 and 1662. His only surviving signed work is the View of Belém Abbey (1650; Lisbon, Mus. N. A. Ant.), which reveals him as a landscape painter of some merit, especially in his concern with minute detail. Dos Santos noted that, like Stoop, Lobo used tones of creamy beige and grey in the Dutch manner, although he displayed some awkwardness in the depiction of groups of people.
