The first comprehensive account in English of Renaissance Spain's
preeminent sculptor Alonso Berruguete (c. 1488-1561) revolutionized
the arts of Renaissance Spain with a dramatic style of sculpture
that reflected the decade or more he had spent in Italy while
young. Trained as a painter, he traveled to Italy around 1506,
where he interacted with Michelangelo and other leading artists. In
1518, he returned to Spain and was appointed court painter to the
new king, Charles I. Eventually, he made his way to Valladolid,
where he shifted his focus to sculpture, opening a large workshop
that produced breathtaking multistory altarpieces (retablos)
decorated with sculptures in painted wood. This handsomely
illustrated catalogue is the first in English to treat Berruguete's
art and career comprehensively. It follows his career from his
beginnings in Castile to his final years in Toledo, where he
produced his last great work, the marble tomb of Cardinal Juan de
Tavera. Enriching the chronological narrative are discussions of
important aspects of Berruguete's life and practice: his
complicated relationship with social status and wealth; his
activity as a draftsman and use of prints; how he worked with his
many assistants to create his wood sculptures; and his legacy as an
artist. Published in association with the National Gallery of Art,
