Pedro de Mena was the most outstanding personality of the school of Seville. He was active in Granada but settled in Málaga in 1658 to create the choir-stalls of the cathedral. They are perhaps the most original works of Spanish sculpture. He finished the job started 28 years earlier by sculptor Jaén Luis Ortiz de Varga.
