In the 15th century, disparate artistic models and consumption practices coexisted in the Iberian Peninsula. Traditional historiography has insisted on the import of Flemish models, but recent research shows the fundamental role of artists from other regions. At the same time, the documentation provides a roadmap for understanding artistic practice, and suggests that the creation of works through the explicit desire of a promoter often coexisted with the purchase of objects already made at fairs and markets.
We will analyze examples from the territories of the Crown of Castile, the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Navarre, in order to identify the continuities and differences, both in the practices of pictorial creation and in the mechanisms of artistic consumption.

About the seminar “The painting of the territories of the Crowns of Spain and Portugal: sources, stories, collections”
This new seminar, in connection with the Census of Iberian Paintings in French Public Collections (RETIB), presents the latest research on painting in the territories of the Spanish and Portuguese monarchies in modern times. The categories of “Spanish” or “Portuguese” painting will be questioned, as well as that of “Iberian” or “colonial”. In particular, art produced in non-peninsular spaces through the prism of their common political subordination, and the circulation of works and/or their copies between the Old and New World will be discussed.
In partnership with UMR Héritages and CY Cergy Paris University
