Diego Valentin Díaz enjoyed a great local reputation as a painter of religious subjects in his native city of Valladolid. The pair of charming flower paintings in the Museo Diocesano y Catedralicio in the Cathedral of Valladolid are the best-known paintings of this type by him. His large collection included a number of prints of flower pieces, which the artist may have used as sources for paintings. His testament also mentioned a still-life painting of sweetmeats by Juan van der Hamen in his possession, reflecting his interest in the works of artists at the court of Madrid.
