    FAMOUS SCULPTORS IN SPAIN

    Gregorio Fernández (Sarria, Lugo, April 1576 – Valladolid, January 22, 1636) was a Spanish
    Baroque sculptor, the greatest exponent of the Castilian school of sculpture. Heir to the
    expressiveness of Alonso Berruguete and Juan de Juni, he was able to combine these
    influences with the classicism of Pompeyo Leoni and Juan de Arfe, so that his art
    progressively freed itself from the prevailing Mannerism of his time until it became one of
    the paradigms of the Baroque Spanish.

    Alonso Cano Almansa (Granada, February 19, 1601-ibidem, September 3, 1667) was a
    Spanish Baroque painter, sculptor and architect.
