Perot Gasco. Pere or Perot Gascó was a Spanish Renaissance painter.
Son of Navarrese Juan Gascó, his activity is documented from 1523 in the family workshop, in which he would have assumed a progressively greater responsibility and that he will direct from the death of his father, in 1528, until 1546, the year of his own death, as it appears that on July 12 of that year he was buried in Vich. The workshop, founded by Juan Gascó and established in the 1520s in Vich, from where he monopolized the main pictorial commissions in the Osona region and its surroundings, had consolidated some of its own styles that, based on late Gothic models, used the oil painting and incorporated characters and types taken from woodblock prints by Martín Schongauer and Alberto Dürer mainly.
With Perot, who could have completed his training with Aine Bru in Barcelona, the scenarios were also going to incorporate Renaissance architectural perspectives, such as those found in the Resurrection of six dead before the relics of Saint Stephen, table from the main altarpiece of the parish church of La Vall d'en Bas, in the region of La Garrocha, preserved in the MNAC. The collaboration of father and son has been particularly studied in Saint Bartholomew destroying the idols, the only surviving table of the altarpiece in the chapel of Saint Bartholomew in the Hospital of the Pilgrims of Vich, hired in 1525.
