The purpose of the present article is to study problems surrounding the Lacasa dynasty, a family of artists from Borja to which the sculptor Simón Diego Lacasa Castro (*1708-†1764) belonged. He has traditionally been identified as the author of the sculpture of St. Michael, to whom the parish church of San Miguel at Borja (Zaragoza) is dedicated, a work of notable artistic merit. Now, new documentary sources assign to him a series of works commissioned in his native city, but a critical analysis of the texts would seem to suggest that most of them correspond to another artist called Diego Lacasa, perhaps his father.
El presente artículo tiene por objeto el estudio de la problemática en torno a la saga de los Lacasa, una familia de artistas borjanos a la que pertenece el escultor Simón Diego Lacasa Castro (*1708-†1764), identificado tradicionalmente como el autor de la escultura de San Miguel, titular de esta iglesia parroquial de Borja (Zaragoza) y de notabilísimo mérito artístico. Ahora, nuevas fuentes documentales le adjudican una serie de obras encargadas en su ciudad natal, pero un análisis crítico de los textos parece apuntar a que la autoría de la mayor parte corresponda a otro escultor llamado Diego Lacasa, quizá su padre.
