Evoking the elegant,
prosperous world of Rococo

Paris, this major, international
loan exhibition brings to life
activities that took place
inside a Parisian town house
over the course of a typical
day—from dressing and letter
writing to dining, music, and
other evening entertainments.
Paris: Life and Luxury unites prime
examples of the extraordinary
creative virtuosity of the period's
great artists and craftsmen,
including furniture, fashion, silver,
paintings, sculpture, musical
instruments, clocks, and books.
Rarely shown together, these
objects literally and figuratively
open up, allowing their functions
and the parts they played in the
fine art of eighteenth-century
Parisian living to be understood
by contemporary visitors.

| La Roldana's Saint Gines: The Making of a Polychrome Sculpture February 17, 2009—Ongoing |
Luisa Roldán (Spanish, 1650-1704)
Luisa Roldán (Spanish, 1650-1704),
affectionately known as La
Roldana, was one of the most
celebrated and prolific sculptors
of the Baroque period. This
intimate exhibition introduces
visitors to La Roldana, whose
artistic superiority catapulted her
to fame at the royal court in an
otherwise male-dominated
profession. She ran a workshop,
worked for the own day. With her
polychrome sculpture of Saint
Ginés de la Jara from the Getty
Museum's collection as a focal
point, this exhibition explores the
artist's life, artistic achievement,
and the multifaceted process
used to create masterfully lifelike
polychrome sculpture.
