Jusepe de Ribera (January 12, 1591 - September 2, 1652) was a Spanish Tenebrist painter and printmaker. He also had the name Lo Spagnoletto ("the little Spaniard") given to him by his contemporaries and early biographers. Rivera was considered as one of leading painters of the Spanish School, although his mature works were painted in Italy.
