Juan de Ávalos y García-Taborda (b. Mérida, October 21, 1911 – d. Clínica Virgen del Mar, Madrid, July 7, 2006) was a Spanish sculptor. Juan de Ávalos began his training very early. As a six-year-old he was a student of D. Juan Carmona, pastor of the Church of Santa Eulalia, who taught him and three other children to draw. de Ávalos's family moved to Madrid shortly after that, as his father's eyesight deteriorated. In Madrid, de Ávalos's father showed his son's drawings to the painter Manuel Benedito. The famous artist was surprised to see the quality of work of a child. He didn't believe a child could draw so well until he went to de Ávalos at work. Convinced of the boy's talent, he advised de Ávalos's father to take his son to the Casón del Buen Retiro. Author of ''Los amantes de Teruel'' (''The Lovers of Teruel'') in Teruel, ''Monumento a Luis Carrero Blanco'' (''Monument to Luis Carrero Blanco'') in Santoña, Cantabria, his most important works are those of the ''Valle de los Caídos'' ("The Valley of the Fallen"), a majestic monument in Madrid where Francisco Franco's body lies. He married in 1937 María de la Soledad Carballo y Núñez and had two sons, Juan and Luis de Ávalos y Carballo. ==Main works== *''El Héroe Caído'', Badajoz, 1950-1956〔(Cojunto Monumental del "Héroe Muerto" (o al Soldado Caído), Los Cuatro Evangelistas y la antigua Cruz de los Caidos ) Monumentosdebadajoz.es 〕 *''Marinos caídos en el Mediterráneo'', Benidorm, 1963 *''El Ángel de la paz'', Valdepeñas, 1964〔(Escultura y Arte en Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real) ) Escultutrayarte.com 〕 *''Cristo de la Paz'', Almendralejo, 1965 *''Arco del Triunfo a la Independencia'' in Dominican Republic *''Los Monteros'' (or ''Monument to Covarsí''), Badajoz, 1968〔(Alojamientos en Badajoz cerca de Monumento "Los Monteros" a Adelardo Covarsi ) Infohostal.com 〕 *''Genio de Extremadura'' *''La Ciudad y el Río'' *''Bernardo de Gálvez'', Washington, D.C., 1976 *''Extremeños Universales'', Badajoz, 1983 *''Monument to Count Diego Porcelos'', Burgos, 1983〔(Monumento al conde Diego Rodríguez Porcelos ) Esculturaurbana.com 〕 *''Pope John Paul II'', Madrid, 1998 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juan de Ávalos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
