The line of research in Medieval Visual Culture is dedicated to the study of images, objects and visual practices in medieval society, exploring how these elements were an integral part of daily life, religion and power. In general terms, the research investigates how medieval images and visual culture influenced the perception and understanding of the world, and how these visual representations contributed to the construction of identity and collective memory.
Furthermore, this line analyses the historical and cultural context in which images were produced and used during the Middle Ages, considering both the aesthetic aspects and their symbolic and ritual functions. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between images, texts and architectural spaces, as well as to the influence of visual culture in the consolidation of belief systems and power structures in medieval society.
Through this approach, we seek to deepen our understanding of how the visual culture of the Middle Ages not only reflected, but also shaped, the experiences and practices of individuals and communities of the time.
