Description: Luisa Roldán (1652-1706) was an accomplished Spanish Baroque artist, much admired during her lifetime for her exquisitely crafted and painted wood and terracotta sculptures. This volume places Roldán's work in context alongside that of other artists of the period, and provides much-needed insight into what life was like for this trailblazing artist of seventeenth-century Spain.
Review Quotes: "The high-quality illustrations make the publication attractive and enable useful study of the materials, techniques, and development of the sculptor's style.
