BOOK LAUNCH & DISCUSSION: 'Luisa Roldán' by Catherine Hall-van den Elsen

Lund Humphries celebrates the launch of Luisa Roldán, a new monograph by Catherine Hall-van den Elsen, co-published with Getty Publications. This beautifully illustrated book presents the first overview in English of the life and work of Luisa Roldán (1652–1706). In this video author Catherine Hall-van den Elsen is joined in conversation by sculpture historian Holly Trusted. They introduce Roldán within a wider historical and social context, exploring her development as a sculptor from her early days in Andalucía to her later works in Madrid. They discuss the complexities of her oeuvre and reflect on the challenges she faced as a woman sculptor in early modern Spain.
