'''Ignacio de Ries''' (c. 1612 – after 1661) was a Spanish Baroque painter.

==Life==
He was probably born in [Flanders](/source/Flanders), then part of the [Spanish Netherlands](/source/Spanish_Netherlands). Written sources show him active in [Seville](/source/Seville) between 1636 and 1661. From his very first works onwards his technique shows a remarkable closeness to that of [Zurbarán](/source/Zurbar%C3%A1n), in whose studio he was recorded in 1636, though his subjects were different to Zurbarán's and more [Rubenesque](/source/Rubens). In his final years he was also influenced by [Murillo](/source/Bartolom%C3%A9_Esteban_Murillo), adding greater dynamism to his work without renouncing his original style. He probably died in Seville.
