A BIOGRAPHICAL PORTRAIT OF TWO SCULPTORS IN THE SHADOWS: THE BROTHERS MIGUEL JERONIMO AND JERONIMO FRANCISCO GARCIA (1576-1639/1644)

This paper offers a first biographical note on the 17th-century sculptors of Granada Miguel Jeronimo and Jeronimo Francisco Garcia, through the use of previously unpublished documents such as their baptismal and death certificates or the will of Miguel. Furthermore, the author presents unknown information and pieces that help to understand more clearly their work in terracotta, fundamental in the transition from Mannerism toward Naturalism in Andalusian sculpture.
