The Iberian Peninsula invites discussion of key notions of ethnic identity, the use of code-switchi...
Al-Andalus
From 711 when they arrived on the Iberian Peninsula until 1492 when scholars contribute a wide-ranging series of essays and catalogue entries which are fully companion to the 373 illustrations (324 in color) of the spectacular art and architecture of the nearly vanished culture. 91/2x121/2 they were expelled by Ferdinand and Isabella, the Muslims were a powerful force in al-Andalus, as they called the Iberian lands they controlled. This awe-inspiring volume, which accompanies a major exhibition presented at the Alhambra in Granada and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is devoted to the little-known artistic legacy of Islamic Spain, revealing the value of these arts as part of an autonomous culture and also as a presence with deep significance for both Europe and the Islamic world.

El Mestre de Vielha: un pintor de tardogòtic entre Catalunya i Aragó
El libro analiza la figura del Maestro de Vielha, uno de los pintores más prolíficos en Aragón y Catalunya a finales del gótico, situándolo en el panorama general del arte de su tiempo y estableciendo su catálogo de obras. Desde siempre, a la luz de su estilo, se le ha considerado discípulo de Pere Garcia de Benavarri (doc. 1445-1485), hecho que ha llevado al autor a proponer una identificación con el pintor Bartomeu Garcia (doc. 1484-1496), a quién se supone hijo o descendiente del anterior.
