| Abstract | The research group Ars Picta is devoted to the investigation of Romanesque Art within the Pyrenees territory, developing since its foundation, a new theoretical and methodological framework that has allowed the redefinition of the Medieval History of Art. Our recent investigations are focused on the study and deliberation concerning the issue of borders as a meeting space, either geographical or cognitive, and the restoration of the Middle Ages' artistic and cultural network throughout the Pyrenean region. Within our studied timeframe (10th - late 12th centuries) historiography has positioned the ecclesiastical reform as the underpinning feature bonding the cultural and religious life at either sides of the Pyrenees. Our session aims to explore and discuss by which means this fact can be stated since the study of cultural and artistic manifestations either by paintings, sculpture, architecture or the interchange of books, suggesting a different conceptual approach. |
