CANO, ALONSO, born in Granada, March 19, 1601, died there, Oct. 3, 1667. Spanish school. After his father, Miguel, removed to Seville, Alonso, by the advice of Juan del Castillo, studied sculpture under Montanes and painting under Pacheco; was painter, sculptor, and architect, whence sometimes called the Spanish Michelangelo. Noted for the manufacture of retablos or monumental altar-*pieces, of which all parts—the wood-carvings and statues as well as the paintings—were executed by himself. In 1637 he fled from Seville, in consequence of a duel with the painter Llano y Valdés, and went to Madrid, where, through the favour of Velasquez, 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 declared innocent, though the suspicions against him were strong. In 1652 Philip IV. appointed him a canon in the cathedral at Granada, where he passed his last days in practising his art and in charitable deeds.
