MARTÍN Y COLL, Antonio

This might be a picture of Antonio Martín y Coll, but scholars aren't sure. We can't be choosy when it comes to portraits of obscure 18th C. Franciscan friars who collected organ music.

Died (probably) in Madrid after 1733.1

  • Martín y Coll was a Spanish composer and organist, and a Franciscan monk.
  • Martín y Coll wrote treatises about liturgical music and compiled a multivolume collection of the organ music by composers from Spain and elsewhere, entitled Flores de música.2
