In the life of Jusepe de Ribera
The whole life1597–1607
His father marries a second and a third time
Jusepe's father marries a second time in 1597, when his son is six, and a third time in 1607, when he is sixteen; scholars read this as a sign of a disrupted youth lacking continuity.
not after 1613 (possibly from 1606)
Sets out for Italy to study the old masters
Probably no later than 1613, perhaps as early as 1606, Ribera leaves for Italy to study the paintings of the old masters: first north to Cremona, Milan and Parma, then to Rome, where he gets to know the work of Guido Reni and Ludovico Carracci. Other accounts allow that he may have been there as early as 1605–09; he never returns to Spain.
