| Abstract | Emotions, unlike actions, are more difficult to depict. However, Romanesque artists attempted to find the way to transfer into images the feelings, sentiments and emotions of human beings. The main objective of this session is to analyse several gestures employed to give expression to pain in Romanesque art, bearing in mind their precedents in the Ancient world as well as their transfer to the Medieval world. |
