Cano, Alonso
Spanish, 1601-67
Spanish painter, sculptor and architect. He was an artist of rare versatility in 17th-century Spain, although his architectural work was not extensive. While he is also known for his drawings, only about 60 of these are definitely attributable to him, despite the many extant sketches with the name 'Cano' carelessly added by later hands. Unlike most of his Spanish contemporaries, such as Zurbaren or Velezquez, whose artistic styles did not outlive them, 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: the painters Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra, Juan de Sevilla (1643-95) and, more distantly, Jos Risueo, and the sculptors Pedro de Mena and Jos de Mora, Related Paintings of Cano, Alonso :. | The Vision of Saint John | At Isidore and the Miracle of the Well | St.Isidoro and the Miracle of the Well | St Isidore and the Miracle of the Well | St James the Major (mk05) | Related Artists: James Madison Alden1854-1860 MEYTENS, Martin vanDutch painter (b. 1695, Stockholm, d. 1770, Vienna).

He studied other great painter's works and in 1717 he had a great success in painting enamel paintings and miniatures, but later went on to greater task. In 1723 he began to paint large portraits of royal courts camille van hyfte
