Mazo, Juan Bautista del (1612–1667)

Spanish painter. He was a pupil of Diego Velázquez and may have collaborated with him in some works. He made copies and adaptations of his paintings and succeeded him as court painter 1661. He painted landscapes and hunting scenes in addition to court portraits.

The View of Zaragoza 1647 (Prado, Madrid) is an example of his landscape painting. The Don Adrián Pulido Pareja (National Gallery, London), long thought to be by Velázquez, is now ascribed to Mazo.
