Alonso Berruguete Biography
(b Paredes de Nava, c . 1488; d Toledo, 13–26 Sept 1561). Sculptor and painter, son of (1) Pedro Berruguete. He was the most distinguished Spanish artist of the 16th century, and his style dominated the central Iberian Peninsula. He integrated the expressive qualities of Gothic art with the beauty of the Renaissance. He brought to Spain Italian Mannerist ideas both in sculpture and painting and played a leading part in their development. Berruguete’s workshop became a meeting place in the same way as the conversazioni , the precursors of the academies in Italy. Patronized by leading figures of the day, his artistic and financial independence helped to improve the status of the artist.
