Nicolás Borrás was a Valencian priest and painter and who trained under the older Valencian artist Vincente Maçip. He was only 20 when his master died but his works continued to be influenced by Maçip’s style throughout his career. He was deeply religious and whilst active as a priest in the Monastery of Saint Jerome, Gandía he painted the high altar of the church and twelve other altarpieces for the monastery. In 1575 he joined the monastic community and continued to paint both within the monastery and for patrons outside the cloisters in and around Valencia. — quoted from Sotheby’s catalogue, Dec. 2012, http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2012/old-master-british-paintings-day-sale-l12037/lot.167.lotnum.html
