Images of San José in the Roldán lineage

Abstract

Devotion to San José begins intensely after the end of the late Middle Ages. Different iconographic forms of this one are analyzed in the present article, especially that of Saint Joseph and the traveling Jesus child and Saint Joseph with the child in his arms. We studied a series of devotional sculptures by Pedro Roldan, his daughter Luisa Ignacia, la Roldana and his grandson Pedro Duque Cornejo.
