| Abstract | This session will study the promotion and reception of art in a moment of spiritual struggle and renovation. It will firstly deal with the relationship between the artistic promotion of the conversos and the renovation of Castilian architecture in the beginning of the 15th century. Two cases of study regarding the consequences of the Reform in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern era will also be addressed. One of them will draw light on the role played by works of art in their conversion of Muslims, while the other will review the hypothesis declaring that the expressive emphasis introduced into some Late Gothic altarpieces was a reaction to the Protestant reform. |
