Laureys a Castro
Laureys a Castro or Lorenzo A. Castro〔Further name variations: , Lorenzo a Castro, L. Castro, L. A. Castro, L. A. de Castro, Lorenzo da Castro, Lorenzo de Castro, Laurens y Castro〕 was a Flemish painter of marine views and portraits who is mainly known for his work executed in England roughly between 1672 and 1700. He was regarded as a leading marine painter in England.
==Life==
There are very few details about Laureys a Castro’s life and training. It is assumed he was the son of the Flemish marine painter Sebastian Castro. His family was of Portuguese descent and had settled in Antwerp likely to escape the persecution of Jews during the Portuguese Inquisition of the early 1600s. It is assumed Laureys received his training from his father.〔(About Laureys A. Castro ) at Jean Moust〕 Laureys is recorded as a 'wijnmeester' (i.e. son of a master) in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1664-65.〔(Laureys a Castro ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕
Based on the subjects of his paintings, he likely travelled and visited many Mediterranean ports such as Lisbon, Genoa, Malta and Sicily. Around 1670-72 he settled in England where he was active as a marine and portrait painter working principally on commission.〔(Lorenzo A. Castro (Antwerp, active 1672-1686), ''A Mediterranean harbour with Turks and Orientals bringing goods ashore, three galleys and a man-o'-war at anchor'' ) at Christie’s〕
It is not know when or where he died. No paintings are attributed to him after the end of the 17th century.〔 A record of 1695 of “Lawrence Castro” in Whitecross Street, London and various works by an artist of that name in English collections suggest that Castro was at that time still working in England.〔
