Biography:
Alonso Cano was born in Granada but worked in a variety of cities across Spain, including Seville, Madrid, Valencia, and Malaga. He worked as a sculptor, architect, painter, and draughtsman. He was in Seville from 1614 to 1638 studying under painter, Pacheco and sculptor, Montanes. He then moved to Madrid and became the painter to Count-Duke Olivares and restored paintings for Philip IV. Cano also had a history of breaking the law. He was imprisoned for debt, wounded in a fight with a colleague, and accused of murdering his wife. Cano became a priest in 1658 in order to continue working at the cathedral in Granada.
