Wooden sculpture in Romanesque Iberian Peninsula: a wide and attractive panorama. Lines of research
Jordi Camps i Sòria
Romanesque polychromed wooden imagery in the Iberian Peninsula (12th-13th centuries) stands both as a valuable and complex heritage. Apart from some general lines that determine compositional symbolic features, local context, liturgy, artists or workshops influence of prestigious models have created highly attractive scenario. It is important to note statues are preserved separately today may well be, broader perspective, part larger ensembles liturgical furniture. At same time, number studies on technical material aspects involving interdisciplinary work has increased. One questions concern scholars most spread typology stylistic trends. The metal precious works tempered must be assessed. Other times, modalities confined an area might obey cult pilgrimage reasons. Not all works, however, strictly follow one modality another. Another hypothesis deals with importation objects.
