BERRUGUETE, ALONSO, born at Paredes
de Nava about 1480, died at Alcalá in
1561. Spanish school; pupil of his father,
Pedro Berruguete; went to Florence about
1503 and studied with Michelangelo, whom
he also assisted in the Vatican. He practised
painting, sculpture, and architecture, and
was among the sculptors chosen by Bramante
to model the Laocoön, to be cast in
bronze. In Florence he was employed to
finish an altarpiece left incomplete by Filippo
Lippi at his death. In 1520 he returned to
Spain and executed many works, especially
monumental altarpieces and church screens,
at Saragossa, Valladolid, Madrid, Toledo, and
other cities. He was greatly honoured by
Charles V., who made him a cavalier and
appointed him his painter and sculptor. He
became wealthy enough to purchase the
lordship of Ventosa, near Valladolid. Berruguete
did more for Spanish art than any who
had preceded him, but he was more excellent
in sculpture than in painting, two specimens
of which, a Holy Family and Flight into
Egypt, are in the Museum at Valladolid.—Stirling,
i. 140; Ch. Blanc, École espagnole;
Bermudez, i. 130; Vasari, ed. Mil., vii. 161;
