About Alonso Cano

1601–1667Spain

He was a popular and versatile artist, who was often copied and many sketches today are marked with the name 'Cano' added by later hands. Cano's artistic legacy is measured in part by the number of artists who trained in his workshop and went on to become important masters in their own right. Comment on works: Religious; Portraits
