Abstract

The present paper explores the origin of wooden sculptures from the creative point of views and defines the technical procedures followed by sculptors and polychrome painters from the 16th to the 18th centuries. We follow the same order followed in the transformation of the prime material into the finished and coloured product. This is exemplified by creative work produced in Granada.
