Open Access. Politics, art and persuasion in 15th-century Castile

Número de visitas

We are pleased to present the book "Politics, Art, and Persuasion in 15th-Century Castile" (Trea Publishing), by Matilde Miquel Juan and Olga Pérez Monzón, in Open Access, in collaboration with the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute and the Toledo Cathedral.

This publishing project arose from the initial motivation to disseminate the research conducted on the Chapel of Álvaro de Luna ("Artistic Rhetoric in Late Gothic Castile: The Chapel of Álvaro de Luna in Context", Madrid, 2018) to a wider audience.

To this end, while maintaining the same rigorous scientific standards, we developed a work in both online and print formats and in two languages—Spanish and English—that would clearly enhance its perceptive and multisensory nature. A laborious and necessary process that allowed us to approach the work from the visible and its hidden reality, the creative process, the comparisons and links between foreign and Hispanic authors, the crypto-portraits, and the confrontation and interrelation between the different image techniques of the works.
