ABTEILUNG I. Icons and minor arts: a neglected aspect of trade between Romania and the crown of Aragon
-
Dr. Duelt
Abstract
Icons and furniture have been largely neglected by studies on trade between the Crown of Aragon and Romania. Only a small number of objects coming from Byzantium and other parts of Romania have survived to the present day, but documentary evidence from inventories shows us their relative abundance in the past. As some fiscal accounts demonstrate, the arrival of these objects was related mainly with trade, especially in the second half of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth centuries, when a large trade developed. An examination of this sort of trade opens the way to reinterpretations of the production of these objects, the manufacture centers, the chronology of large-scale production, and their influence in Western taste.
