Ignacio de Ries (c. 1612 - after 1661) was a Spanish Baroque painter.
He was probably born in Flanders, then part of the Spanish Netherlands. Written sources show him active in Seville between 1636 and 1661. From his very first works onwards his technique shows a remarkable closeness to that of Zurbarán, in whose studio he was recorded in 1636, though his subjects were different to Zurbarán's and more Rubenesque. In his final years he was also influenced by Murillo, adding greater dynamism to his work without renouncing his original style. He probably died in Seville.
This chapel was founded in 1645 by captain Pedro Fernández de Miñano y Contreras and contains de Ries' most important works.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively, realist portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times. He also painted two self-portraits, one in the Frick Collection portraying him in his 30s, and one in London's National Gallery portraying him about 20 years later. In 2017-2018, the two museums held an exhibition of them.

The greatest patron of Spanish art and culture during this period was King Philip II (1556–1598), whose royal palace, El Escorial, invited the attention of some of Europe's greatest architects and painters such as El Greco, who infused Spanish art with foreign styles and helped create a uniquely Spanish style of painting. It is associated with the reigns of Isabella I, Ferdinand II, Charles V, Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV, when Spain was one of the most powerful countries in the world.
