Cano, Alonso (1601-67) ,
Spanish painter, sculptor, and architect, who was one of the foremost masters of Spanish baroque art. All of his work is notable for its religious connotations, and the human figures in his paintings and sculptures radiate devout feeling.

His most notable works were the seven paintings illustrating Mysteries of the Virgin (1654, Granada Cathedral) and the carved polychrome altarpiece of Santa Maria, Lebrija (1631).

As architect for Granada Cathedral, he executed designs for a new facade (designed 1667) that was one of the most lushly imaginative creations of baroque architecture. He also produced a great quantity of drawings and is considered the foremost Spanish baroque draftsman.
