Abstract

Inside Lorenzo Coullaut Valera’s extensive work, the religious sculpture plays an important role of which they are a good example these two images of Saint Ignacio. Entrusted by Jesuits Spanish for their Loyola’s Sanctuary, they are an example of the attempts of this sculptor for recovering a genre for then almost forgotten, incorporating the lessons of the big Hispanic teachers of the past. These worries were shared by some of his colleagues during the third and fourth decade of the 20th century, before the snap of the Civil War, but they were forgotten after the postwar period, when in the longing for recovering the lost patrimony it fell in revivals affected and emptiness.
