Martín de Soria (active c. 1449 -1487)

• Was a Spanish Gothic painter in the Flemish style.
• He was active in the Kingdom of Aragón.
• He appears to have begun his artistic education in the workshop of his uncle, Blasco de Grañén.
• In 1457, he and Juan Rius (fl.1455-1482) were commissioned to create an altarpiece for the town of Aguilón, with his uncle as guarantor.
• In 1459, following his uncle's death, he completed altarpieces at Épila and Ejea de los Caballeros that his uncle had left unfinished. • In 1459, he contracted with the merchant, Miguel de Baltueña, to create an altarpiece for his personal chapel at the Iglesia de San Pablo in Zaragoza.
• It is not until 1485 that another work can be named as his with certainty.
• This is the main altarpiece of the church in Pallaruelo, Huesca, which was signed and dated.
