CANO, ALONSO, born in Granada, March
19, 1601, died there,
Oct. 3, 1667. Spanish
school. After
his father, Miguel,
removed to Seville,
Alonso, by the advice
of Juan del
Castillo, studied
sculpture under
Montanes and painting
under Pacheco; was painter, sculptor,
and architect, whence sometimes called the
Spanish Michelangelo. Noted for the manufacture
of retablos or monumental altar-*pieces,
of which all parts—the wood-carvings
and statues as well as the paintings—were
executed by himself. In 1637 he fled
from Seville, in consequence of a duel with
the painter Llano y Valdés, and went to
Madrid, where, through the favour of Velasquez,
his fellow-pupil under Pacheco, he
obtained the protection of the Duke de
Olivares and became painter to the king. In
1644 he was suspected of the murder of his
wife, but on being put to the torture was declared
innocent, though the suspicions against
him were strong. In 1652 Philip IV. appointed
him a canon in the cathedral at Granada,
where he passed his last days in practising
his art and in charitable deeds. Works:
