altars at Santa Clara in Seville and at San Miguel in Jerez, the Conception and the realistic figure of Christ crucified, in the Seville cathedral; the figure of St John the Baptist, and the St Bruno (162o); a tomb for Don Perez de Guzman and his wife (1619); the St
Ignatius and the St Francis of Borja in the university church of Seville. Montanes died in 1649, leaving a large family. His works are more realistic than imaginative, but this, allied with an impeccable

taste

TASTE (from Lat. taxare, to touch sharply; tangere, to touch)

, produced remarkable results. The equestrian statue of King Philip IV., caste in bronze by Pietro Tacca in Florence and now in Madrid, was modelled by Montanes. He had many imitators, his son Alonzo Martinez, who died in 1668, being among them.
