Abstract | The Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula was characterized as a complex historical period, due to the co-existence of Muslims, Christians, and Jews in the same territory. This situation conditioned the cultural and artistic manifestations which were developed there. The three religions tried to show their spiritual superiority over the others, using force or a pacific speech. This situation created an environment of dialectical fight which found in the artistic representations a privileged space to be formulated. This session tries to reflect on some images which, in relation with the Hispanic-medieval world, show the confrontation between the heresy and the orthodoxy. |
