  • In the past two decades the name of the Spanish diplomat Juan de Lezcano has become familiar to students of Orazio Borgianni. It was to Lezcano that Borgianni dedicated, probably in 1615, his etching of St Christopher (Fig.3) made after the painting he had executed for Lezcano.' In the artist's will of 30th November 1615, he appointed Lezcano - described as 'l'illustre signor Giovanni de Lescano secretario dell'Illustrissimo et eccellentissimo signor Don Francesco Conte de Castro Imbasciatore del Catolico Re di Spagna appresso Nostro Signore' - as one of his executors and also bequeathed him a small painting of the Crucifixion and a sword.
