Baltasar de Figueroa the Elder was a New Granadian painter.
He was born in Spain around 1560 and moved to the New Kingdom of Granada. He has been previously confounded with a Seville painter of the same name.
He resided for a while in Santa Fe de Bogotá, and later in Turmequé and Mariquita. He married Catalina de Saucedo, and they had three children together: Melchor, Gaspar, and Bartolomé. His grandson, Baltasar Vargas de Figueroa, was also a painter.
He and his children worked as painters of churches in Turmequé.
