Abstract

This artist, originally from León, undertook several important projects as sculptor and engraver - and also as an architect- in the 17th and 18th centuries. First in Sobrado dos Monxes, and later in Celanova, Tui, Ourense and Oseira, he carried out major works. His renown prompted the Benedictine nuns of San Paio, in Santiago de Compostela, to commission their main altar-piece from him.
