**BERRUGUETE, Pedro:** and Alonso. — Pedro, painter, b. at Paredes de Nava (Palencia) c. 1450, d. before 1505. He trained in the Flemish tradition; later, Piero della Francesca and Melozzo da Forlì exerted an influence on him during a stay in Urbino where he worked alongside Justus of Ghent for the Duke of Urbino. In 1483 he returned to Spain. Many sacred works by him survive today in the Prado Museum in Madrid, including *The Adoration of the Magi*, *St Dominic and the Albigensians*, *St Dominic of Guzmán*, *The Apparition of the Virgin to a Community*, and *An Auto-da-fé in the Presence of St Dominic of Guzmán* from the sacristy of S. Tomás in Avila.
**ALONSO**, sculptor, son of Pedro, b. at Paredes de Nava (Palencia) between 1486 and 1490, d. in 1561. After his father’s death, c. 1506, he came to Italy, where in Florence he copied the cartoon of the *Battle of Cascina*; in Rome he took part in a competition announced by Bramante for a bronze copy of the *Laocoön*. Returning to Spain, he left numerous works there. A. B. sought to reconcile the tendencies of traditional Spanish art with the spirit and forms of the Italian Renaissance. Notable among his works are the mausoleum of Cardinal Tavera in Toledo, the Salinas tomb in Palencia, and several polychrome wooden sculptures. Also attributed to him is the *Holy Sepulchre* in the S. Girolamo at Granada, a work of great expressive power.
