For example, Juan's paintings for the main altarpiece of the Clarisas de Nectarina, dated between 1532 and 1534, were financed by his uncle Don Rodrigo de Vivar. One of his most important works was the altarpiece in the Almonacid de Zorita church, in Guadalajara. Some of his masterpieces from the 1540s can be found in the San Martín de Valdeiglesias monastery today. In the Prado, and in other art galleries such as Zaragoza or Vigo, and churches such as San Jerónimo el Real de Madrid.
