PRESENTATION

In recent years, the research of the chromatic reality of the Middle Ages has received increasing attention from specialists in different academic disciplines. Fortunately, the vision of a dark and monochrome Middle Ages –propagated by nineteenth-century historiography– is gradually being banished from the collective imagination thanks to important actions for the transfer of scientific knowledge in the media, informative books, and fiction creations. A large number of medieval artworks that are preserved today in museums, cathedrals, or churches bring us to the present time important data about the technical composition or the material creation processes associated with colors. Likewise, the understanding of the different dimensions of medieval colors has important implications that go beyond the purely material and are connected with the sensory experience of medieval men, true colorful souls whose life experience connects the use of certain colors with emotional and sensory values.

Featured guest speakers: Andreas Petzold (MPW London), Stefanos Kroustallis (Escuela Superior de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales de Madrid), María Luisa Vazquez de Ágredos Pascual (Universitat de València), Ricardo Piñero Moral (Universidad de Navarra), Maria Alessandra Bilotta (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Paloma Pucci (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), Ana García Bueno (Universidad de Granada), Sara Fiorentino y Donatella Tronca (Università di Bologna), María Barrigón Montañés (Patrimonio Nacional).
