This beautifully illustrated monograph presents the first overview
in English of the life and work of Luisa Roldan (1652-1706), a
prolific and celebrated sculptor of the Spanish Golden Age. The
daughter of Pedro Roldan, a well-known sculptor from Seville, she
developed her talent in her father's workshop. Early in her career
she produced large polychromed wooden sculptures for churches in
Seville, Cadiz, and surrounding towns. She spent the second half of
her career in Madrid, where she worked in both polychromed wood and
polychromed terracotta, developing new products for a domestic,
devotional market. In recognition of her talent, she was awarded
the title of Sculptor to the Royal Chambers of two kings of Spain,
Charles II and Philip V. This book places Roldan within a wider
historical and social context, exploring what life would have been
like for her as a woman sculptor in early modern Spain. It
considers her work alongside that of other artists of the Baroque
period, including Velazquez, Murillo, and Zurbaran. Reflecting on
the opportunities available to her during this time, as well as the
challenges she faced, Catherine Hall-van den Elsen weaves the
narrative of Roldan's story with analysis, revealing the
complexities of her oeuvre. Every year, newly discovered sculptures
in wood and in terracotta enter into Roldan's oeuvre. As her
artistic output begins to attract greater attention from scholars
and art lovers, Luisa Roldan provides invaluable insights into her
artistic achievements.
