Dalmau, Luis (died 1460)

Spanish painter of Catalan origin. He was court painter to Alfonso V of Aragon. He assimilated the style of Netherlandish painting (visiting Bruges in 1431), being particularly influenced by Jan van Eyck. His single known work is the Virgin and the Councillors (1445, Museu d'Art Catalunya, Barcelona).

Although closely following Netherlandish style in symmetrical arrangement, architectural setting, and landscape distance, in portraiture and total effect this work has its own distinct Spanish character.
