Biography
Roque López Duarte Máyquez (12 August 1747 – 1811) was a Spanish sculptor.
López was born in Era Alta, a small town near Murcia. As a youth, he was apprenticed to the sculptor Francisco Salzillo and went on to become Salzillo's most important disciple. He worked for twenty-eight years, receiving commissions from many towns and villages in southeastern Spain. His sculptures decorated churches, convents and private houses. He created over five hundred works (most of them religious). López died in Mula from yellow fever.
In 2011, the bicentenary of his death, the Museo Salzillo in Murcia organized a major exhibition of his works entitled Roque López. La mirada del discípulo.
