                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Juan Sánchez Cotan was a Spanish painter during the Baroque period. Cotan is known for hyper-realistic still lifes, also referred to as ‘bodegon’. Cotan’s life began in the village of Orgaz, in the vicinity of Toledo, Spain. Cotan was an acquaintance of Blas de Prado, also known for his realistic still life paintings.</p>

                      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Barbuda Penaranda, 1590</div>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cotan spent many of his adult years work as an altarpiece artisan in Toledo. Cotan worked for the Spanish aristocracy, painting various religious pieces for the church. Cotan gained experience with portraits, genre paintings and religious iconography.</p>
                      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/cotan/10.cotan.jpg" alt=" Cotan , Johannes of Patmos"></p>
                      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Johannes of Patmos</div>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cotan shut down his Toledo workshop in 1603 to enter the Carthusian monastery, Santa Maria de El Paular. While religion and mysticism became the main focus of Cotan’s life, he continued to make religious paintings.</p>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1612 Cotan relocated to the Granada Charterhouse, and soon decided to enter the Carthusian monastery of Granada. Cotan’s ambition was to become a monk. Many of his paintings in Granada depicted the prosecution of monks by English Protestants.</p>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Though Cotan spent many years making religious paintings, they never received acknowledgment or praise in comparison to his still life paintings. Cotan’s still life paintings are few in number, and rare to encounter. The still lifes are considered to be part of the golden age of painting in Spain, and some of the first examples of ‘Tenebrism’ (dramatic lighting). Cotan would paint extremely dark backgrounds with illuminated fruits and vegetables as well as fish and fowl.</p>

                      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Still Life (BodegÃ³n)</div>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cotan’s style of still-life painting became a model for other Spanish artists, who referred to the still lifes as ‘bodegon’ (containing mostly vegetables). The focus on painting vegetables may be related to the Carthusian, vegetarian diet.</p>
                      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/cotan/6.cotan.jpg" alt=" Cotan , Still Life (BodegÃ³n)" width="auto"></p>
                      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Still Life with Game Fowl, Vegetables, Fruits, 1602</div>
                      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Many of Cotan’s paintings now belong to Prado collection in Madrid, as well as major international collections. Cotan’s paintings changed the course of still life painting in Spain and throughout Europe.
