El planteamiento de este trabajo parte de la inquietud por conocer el complejo universo cultural en el que históricamente se circunscribe la religiosidad popular de la provincia de Alicante y, más concretamente, de la voluntad de analizar, desde la perspectiva histórico- antropológica, las manifestaciones plásticas populares de la Semana Santa, en tanto que una parte integrante del patrimonio histórico de arte sacro ¿conservado y desaparecido¿ en nuestra región a lo largo del tiempo. Para ello, ofrecemos una visión sobre la vida y la obra que el escultor Antonio Riudavets Lledó (Mahón, 1813- San Juan (Alicante), 1897) realizó para las cofradías y hermandades de Semana Santa de la provincia de Alicante en una época tan difícil como convulsa en la historia de España.
The present work stems from our concern to know the difficult cultural universe in which the popular religion from the province of Alicante has been historically confined. Particularly, it is our aim to analyze, from a historical and anthropological view, the popular plastic manifestations that characterize the religious festivity known as the Holy Week. These artistic representations are considered as part of the sacred art belonging to the historical heritage of our region and which have been kept and disappeared alike throughout time. With this goal in mind, we would like to offer a general overview regarding the life and work of the sculptor Antonio Riudavets Lledó (Mahón, 1813-San Juan (Alicante), 1897). He has been mainly known for the different works of art he made for the brotherhoods that make up the Holy Week in Alicante; all this surrounded by hard and disturbing times in Spanish history.
