Following earlier conferences on Romanesque and the Past (London, 2010), and Romanesque and the Mediterranean (Palermo, 2012), the British Archaeological Association is collaborating with the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya and the Research project Magistri Cataloniae to stage the third in a biennial series of international conferences concerned with Romanesque art and architecture. This conference, Romanesque: Patrons and Processes, is concerned with patronage – and agency - in their broadest senses during the Romanesque period. 

The research project Magistri Cataloniae has collaborated in the organization and has participated through the following papers:

III^d INTERNATIONAL ROMANESQUE CONFERENCE:

Romanesque Art: Patrons and process

The third International Romanesque Conference, organized by the British Archeological Association and MNAC in collaboration with our research project Magistri Cataloniae, will take place from 7^th to 9^th April 2014 at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.

The conference focuses on the patronage in individual and institutional terms and means to emphasize all the processes related to it. The congress represents a unique opportunity in order to have a direct approach to the new trends in the study of Romanesque art as a whole in all its cultural and geographical diversity, from the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem to Norman England. Furthermore, it will consider some paradigmatic continental examples (Papacy, Empire) as well as the nature of the agents involved in the making of Catalan Romanesque art, including visits to the Romanesque monuments.
