- Abstract
This paper reassesses some controversial or hitherto unexplored instances of artistic connectivity between Iberia and England. Because the political dynamic between the Iberian powers and England was very different from that between England and France, and because instances of the impact of Iberian visual culture in England remain unexplored, the argument here will concentrate on Iberia's receptivity to art and architecture under the Plantagenets into the third quarter of the 14th century. It will consider the wall paintings of Salamanca Old Cathedral, the movement of ideas from Avignon to Pamplona, and, in particular, the architecture and sculpture of the cloister of the Abbey of Santes Creus and the chapel of Santa Maria dels Sastres in Tarragona Cathedral. The last two will be examined from the perspective of Jean Bony's hypothesis regarding the European-wide impact of the English Decorated Style. To what extent were such surprising links a product of deeper, shared structures of culture which rendered Iberia and England, powers with long-standing Atlantic and Mediterranean interests, in some sense 'free' of the European-wide norms of French Rayonnant?
