Alonso berruguete biography of abraham lincoln

To begin with he set up a workshop in Valladolid, hired a number of apprentices, and - it is said - charged prices to match his growing reputation.

Spain was prospering and Berruguete reportedly was determined to be accorded the same respect as that enjoyed by Italian artists. In due course, Berruguete built himself a palace in Valladolid, close by the monastery of S.

Benito, for which he created one of his greatest altarpieces. He enjoyed an extremely lucrative career, and was ennobled in 1559, some two years before his death, when the regent of Portugal, Princess Juana, gave him the village of Ventosa with its 120 inhabitants.
