Félix Castello (Madrid, Spain, 1595 - Madrid, Spain, 1651) -- Painter.

Born in Spain, Félix Castello was the son of Italian painter Fabrizio Castello and the grandson of Italian painter Giovanni Battista Castello. The family arrived in Spain around 1567 when Giovanni Battista Castello was invited to Madrid to become painter and architect to Philip II. Félix followed their footsteps as part of a larger team of Italian painters who were active in Spain in those years, also including Vincenzo Carducci and Bartolomeo Carducci.
