Biography
Egas Cuman belongs to a family of Flemish architects and sculptors who arrived in Toledo in the mid-15th century. The first generation was headed by Hanequín de Bruselas, a renowned architect of the Toledo focus, with whom Egas trained, and who was accompanied by a third brother, Anton Martinez de Bruxelles, also an artist but less well known.
The Egas family introduced the Flemish style to the Iberian Peninsula, blending it with Hispanic traits and creating what is known as the Hispanic features, creating what is known as the Hispano-Flemish style, which was in force in the second half of the 15th century.
He began by collaborating in the architectural works commissioned from his brother´s later to link his work with that of the architect and sculptor Juan Guas, also from a northern European family and also from a northern European family and also trained in Hanequin's workshop. And at the same time he produced some sculptural pieces contracted by himself, mainly in the monastery of Guadalupe.
