Life

Few things have come down to us from his life: when he was a small child, his family moved to Burgos ; in 1549 he moved to Miranda del Ebro, where he lived and worked until his death. From which master he received his training is unknown; his most important students were Juan de Ancheta and Diego de Marquina .
