Precisiones biográficas sobre el arquitecto Juan de Sagarbinaga (1710-1797)

Abstract

The architect Juan de Sagarbinaga, from Axpe de Busturia (Vizaya), for which he enjoyed the distinction of nobleman, married Saturia de la Horra, from Burgos, the sister-in-law of the master architect Domingo de Ondátegui, in El Burgo de Osma (Soria) in 1741. Ten children were born of this union, only four of whom survived their father, and one, Juan Marcelino de Sagarvinaga (Castrojeriz (Burgos), 1753-Salamanca, 1807), continued in his father's footsteps. Named an Academician of the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1776, he died in Salamanca in 1797, after having demonstrated throughout his long professional career that he had perfect knowledge of the different classical styles which dominated Spanish architecture in the second half of the 18th century.
