Sebastián Ducete

He was born to the sculptor Pedro Ducete Díez in Toro, Zamora[1][2] in whose workshop Sebastián collected first experiences.

[5] From 1591 on he was trained by the sculptor Juan Sanz de Torrecilla from Palencia.

[5] 1598 Esteban de Rueda [es] entered Ducete's workshop as an apprentice.

[2] It is difficult to differentiate between Ducete and Rueda since both were influenced by Juan de Juni and Gregorio Fernández though the influence of Juni on Ducete was stronger, his style is more expressive, dynamic and mannerist.

Van Hess claims that Ducete died in 1619 before working began.
