Add article description

Francesc Santacruz i Artigas was a Catalan sculptor of Baroque works. He was active between 1665 and 1721. From a family of sculptors, he worked in the studio of Pere Serra, which he entered in 1665. It is known that, with Domènec Rovira, he participated in the legal suit that demanded that a separate guild for sculptors be formed, and in 1680 Charles II of Spain allowed the creation of the Cofradía de los Santos Mártires escultores, which allowed sculptors to freely receive commissions for their works and expenses.
