Life at Court: Luisa Roldán in Madrid 1689–1706
View through CrossRef
Catherine Hall-van den Elsen considers the career of Luisa Roldán (1652–1706),
one of Spain’s most renowned female artists, who was appointed Escultora de
Cámara (sculptor to the Royal Chamber) to both Kings Carlos II and Felipe V. As
the daughter of a well-known Sevillian sculptor, Roldán developed her skills in a
busy workshop that produced life-sized polychrome wood sculptures. But when
the artist arrived in Madrid with her family in late 1688, she found an uncertain
economic environment and a very different market, with reduced demand for the
sculpture with which she was familiar. Roldán set about identifying an alternative
product to suit the tastes of the royal and noble residents of Madrid’s Corte y
Villa, proving herself an able interpreter of religious and political environment.
