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 Bra- mante to model the Laocoon, 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. Berru- guete did more for Spanish art than any who had preceded him, but he was more excellent e/ru in sculpture than in painting, two specimens of which, a Holy Family and Flight into Egypt, are in the Museum at Valladolid.
