# Choir-stall \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BERRUGUETE, Alonso]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Wood carving ## Commentary Spanish Renaissance sculpture was at first entirely dominated by imported Italian artists. Later Alonso Berruguete, son of the painter Pedro Berruguete who possibly worked with Piero della Francesca in Urbino, became the finest Spanish sculptor of the sixteenth century. His style is expressive and his technique outstanding, particularly in his wooden choir-stall carvings, such as those at Toledo, where he achieves a notable dramatic quality, full of movement. His figures breeak out of their frames, and are filled with an emotional agitation which verges on the Baroque. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi \(another view\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Choir-stall \(detail\)]() - [Eve]() - [Madonna and Child with the Young St John]() - [Salome]() - [St Christopher]() - [St Sebastian]() - [The Sacrifice of Isaac]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
