Rold n trained under her father and worked in Seville, C diz, and Madrid. She even served as sculptor to the royal chambers of two kings of Spain. Yet despite her great artistry and achievements, she has been largely forgotten by modern art history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written for art lovers of all backgrounds, this beautifully illustrated book offers an important perspective that has been missing--a deeper understanding of the opportunities, and the challenges, facing a woman artist in Rold n's time. With attention to the historical and social dynamics of her milieu, this volume places Rold n's work in context alongside that of other artists of the period, including Vel zquez, Murillo, and Zurbar n, and provides much-needed insight into what life was like for this trailblazing artist of seventeenth-century Spain.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Hall-van den Elsen studied Spanish art at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
