context_page_description: Tomás de Yepes or Hiepes was a Spanish painter in the Kingdom of Valencia. Considered as an important artist of the Baroque style, he worked as a painter of bodegón and still life. Although he is noted to be active since the second decade of the 17th century, earliest works attributed to him come from the 1640s.
  Yepes' depictions of vases, flowers, fruits, and everyday objects were prominent in the region during the 17th and 18th century, and he has been regarded as one of the major rediscoveries of art history. His works are exhibited in museums and in private collections worldwide, with the Prado Museum, Madrid host to the most extensive collection of his paintings.
context_section_description: The Prado Museum in Madrid has the most extensive collection of his works, including still life works such as Bodegón de uvas (Still Life of Grapes, 1649), Bodegón de cocina (Kitchen Still Life, 1658), and Rincón de jardín con perrito (Garden Corner with a Dog, 1660s) which is considered to be a portrait of his own garden. In 2006, seven more works of Yepes were added to the museum from the private collection of Rosendo Naseiro, including two of his earliest known works: Frutero de Deft y dos floreros (Deft's Fruit Bowl and Two Tases, 1642) and Dos fruteros sobre una mesa (Two Fruit Bowls on a Table, 1642). Bodegón de aves y liebre (Still Life of Birds and Hare, 1643), Paisaje con una vid (Landscape with a Vine, 1645), Vanitas, and two other paintings of vases were added from his collection.
  One of his many religious paintings is located at the Convent of Las Descalzas Reales, Madrid: Virgen de los desamparados (Virgin of the Forsaken, 1644). His works preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia include Bodegón con frutero de cerámica (Still Life with a Ceramic Fruit Bowl, 1650), Cazador bebiendo en un arroyo (Hunter Drinking in a Stream, 1650) and Cazador dormido en un paisaje (Hunter Asleep in a Landscape, 1650)—the latter two being his only works to feature human figures.
  The Fondation Raus pour le Tiers-Monde, Zurich has two farmyard scenes: Pavo, perdiz y paloma en una terraza (Turkey, Partridge and Pigeon on a Terrace, 1649) and Gallo, gallina y polluelos (Rooster, Hen and Chicks, 1649). Cuatro macetas de flores en un jardín (Four Pots of Flowers in a Garden, 1663-64), one of his works influenced by Flemish paintings is a part of the J. and D. de Menil Collection in Houston.
  Many of his other works are in various private collections.
