Hurtado Izquierdo, Francisco de
Hurtado Izquierdo, Francisco de (1669–1725). Spanish Baroque architect responsible for some of the most ornate church-interiors of the period. Most of his works are in Córdoba and Granada, including the Sagrario Chapel of the Cartuja (1702–20), Granada, with a polychrome central tabernacle on Solomonic columns. Also remarkable is the Sagrario of the Cartuja of Nuestra Señora del Paular, near Segovia (from 1718), with a capricious marble and lapis lazuli camarín. Even more imposing is the Sacristy of the Cartuja, Granada (1724–64), the master-work of Spanish Baroque with piers encrusted with 45 different motifs, giving a rich, jewel-like effect: the building was completed under the direction of Luís de Arévalo, and contains exquisite inlaid cómodas (cabinets) by José or F. Manuel Vázquez (1730–64).
