COELLO, CLAUDIO, born in Madrid
about 1635, died
there, April 20,
1693. Spanish
school; son of
Faustino Coello,
a Portuguese
sculptor; pupil in
drawing of Francisco
Rizi; won the
friendship of Carreño,
who obtained
for him admission
to the royal galleries, where he studied
Titian, Rubens, and other great masters.
After executing important works in Toledo
and Saragossa, he returned to Madrid, was
made painter to the king in 1684, and on the
death of Carreño succeeded to all his honours
at court. Coello's masterpiece, the
Collocation of the Host, in the Escorial,
cost him two years' labor. In 1691 he was
appointed painter to the Cathedral of Toledo,
but his satisfaction in this and other
advantages which he enjoyed was counter-*balanced
in the following year by the arrival
of Luca Giordano, called by the King of Spain
