Antonio García Reinoso Explained

Antonio García Reinoso (1623–1677), a Spanish painter, was born at Granada,^[1] and studied under Sebastián Martínez Domedel, an artist of some eminence, at Jaen. He painted landscapes and historical subjects; and there are several of his works noticed by Palomino, particularly an altarpiece in the church of the Capuchins at Andújar, representing the Trinity, with several Saints. There are also some of his pictures in the churches and private collections at Cordova, in which city he died.

At the Teatro el jardinito de Cabra, the hall of expositions is named after him.^[2]
