Andrés de Nájera [Andrés de San Juan]
(b ?Nájera, Rioja; fl 1504–33). Spanish woodcarver. In 1504 he was described by Simón de Colonia as ‘a clever and expert man in the said crafts of carving and figure-making’. It is possible that he received his early training in Italy. He was much admired by his contemporaries, including Alonso Berruguete, who in 1532 regretted that he did not know him personally.
