a Spanish painter and sculptor, was born at Toledo about 1510. His works are to be found chiefly in the Cathedral of Toledo, where he directed the painting and sculpture from 1542, for a period of thirty-two years. He also executed a part of the paintings on glass in the same edifice, which were continued and completed by his sons, Nicolas and Juan. He died in 1574. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine.
