In the Granada school of sculpture we would highlight the work of Diego de Mora (Granada 1656-1729), an artist who was entrusted with the task of passing on the expertise of his brother José de Mora, and the memory of the artistic intellectualism of Alonso Cano, albeit tinged with devotional and expressive idealism, to his disciples José Risueño and Torcuato Ruiz del Peral, who complete the group of Baroque sculptors in Granada.

Diego often appears as an imitator of the work of his brother José de Mora, although not as much as some critics claim, as he produced many pieces of truly masterly quality.

Generally speaking, his work dates from the years after 1684 (the year in which his father, Bernardo, died), as he had worked in the latter's studio until he established his own. He continued working in Granada until 1726, the date of his last known work.
