This article is about the Spanish painter. Juan Correa de Vivar (c1510 - 16 April 1566) was a Spanish painter. When Juan was 17 or 18 years old he joined an artist workshop in Burgundy where he met with many other Spanish artists at the time, including Pedro de Cisneros, whom he befriended.
In Mascaraque, Juan was a substantial landowner with a nice house where he did much of his painting.
He took frequent trips but always stayed in the Toledo area. Juan was married and a religious manitoba
lieutenant can be seen in his testament: a copy was found in the church files of Mascaraque. Juan was a well-regarded painter during his life, but many records were lost.
Records show Juan died on April 16, 1566, in San Miguel.
Many members of the artistic community came to the funeral service, including architects Alonso de Covarrubias and Nicolás de Vergara, the sculptor Francisco de Linares, and the painters Diego de Aguilar and Blas Pablín.
