  About Pedro Berruguete   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Berruguete, Pedro (1450/1455 - 1504?), was born in Paredes de Nava (Palencia).
Berruguete's activity in Spain is documented from 1483 on: in Toledo first and in the provinces of Palencia, Burgos and Segovia later.
Shortly after, Berruguete was entrusted with the task of painting the retable for the high altar devoted to the saint of Aquinos under whose patronage the convent had been established (which is still in situ), and two other secondary altarpieces depicting scenes from Saint Dominic de Guzmán's and Saint Peter the Martyr of Verona's lives.

 BookRags: Alonso Berruguete Summary
Berruguete's original purpose was to train as a painter, but he had the opportunity to study sculpture under Michelangelo, whom he is said to have assisted in the execution of some works.
Berruguete's tremendous altarpieces filled the entire apse of the church and were subdivided by architectural elements lavishly decorated and acting as frames for the individual figures and the relief panels.
The stamp of Berruguete's genius was not only that he created a unique mannerist expression of ungovernable passion agitating tense, convulsed forms, the clamor of which claws and burns the soul in a spiritual ecstasy, but that, once having found his creative language, he never made a concession to a client's taste.

 Biography
Berruguete may have collaborated with him, but there is no doubt that the allegories and many of the more vigorous portraits of the series are by his hand alone.
Among Berruguete's numerous works hardly less important than the previously cited are the Annunciation in the Carthusian monastery of Miraflores and the Holy Family signed and dated 1500, now in a private collection in Paredes de Nava.
Berruguete's influence is strongly apparent in the work of various painters who were active in Castile and Leon during the first third of the sixteenth century.

 Burning of the Heretics (Auto-da-fé) by BERRUGUETE, Pedro
Berruguete lived during the last years of the reconquista when those sentenced to be burned at the stake were mostly Moors who had been converted to Christianity but who were suspected of practising Mohammedanism in secret.
Berruguete witnessed the death of these heretics and this painting faithfully illustrates the manner in which the sentences imposed by the Inquisition were enforced in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: he records the half reprieve granted to penitents, the throttling that preceded burning and even the pointed hats worn by those condemned to do penance.
Berruguete's way of representing the platform, and the delicacy, elegance and harmony of his colours are all indications that the innovations of Italian art of the fifteenth century had already found their way to Spain.

 Spanish Inquisition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alonso de Hojeda, a Dominican from Seville, convinced Queen Isabel of the existence of crypto-Judaism among Andalusian conversos during her stay in Seville between 1477 and 1478.
A report, produced at the request of the monarchs by Pedro González de Mendoza, archbishop of Seville and by the Segovian Dominican Tomás de Torquemada, corroborated this assertion.
However, the murder of the inquisidor Pedro Arbués in Zaragoza on September 15, 1485, caused public opinion to turn against the conversos and in favor of the Inquisition.

Between 1470 and 1475 Berruguete executed the altarpiece of St Helen (Paredes de Nava, S Juan), which demonstrates his mastery of oil-painting techniques.
It has been suggested that Berruguete’s participation in this work was due to the influence of one of his relatives, a Dominican friar in Florence.

 The Museo de la Trinidad in the Prado - Museo Nacional del Prado : Expositie / Exhibition at GALERIES.NL
With a selection of 36 paintings, including works by Berruguete, El Greco, Maino, Zurbarán, Vicente Carducho, Escalante, Rizi, Giandomenico Tiepolo and Goya (almost all large-scale works and many not normally on show in the Prado) the exhibition offers a chronological survey of the holdings of the now defunct Museo de la Trinidad.
The original collection of the museum derived mainly from the churches and monasteries of Madrid, Toledo, Ávila, Segovia and Valladolid, hence the predominantly religious character of its holdings.
While the creation of the museum was an unprecedented event in Spain, in that its holdings constituted the first national, public collection, it only remained open for nine days to mark the saint's day of Queen María Cristina.
