After his father, Miguel, removed to Seville, Alonso, by the ad- vice of Juan del Castillo, studied sculpture under Montanes and paint- ing under Pacheco ; was painter, sculptor, and architect, whence sometimes called the Spanish Michelangelo.

In 1637 he fled from Seville, in consequence of a duel with the painter Llano y Vald6s, and went to Madrid, where, through the favour of Velas- quez, 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 de- clared innocent, though the suspicious against him were strong.
