Abstract EN:

This work proposes a synthesis on the sculpture of the end of the romanesque period in spain and finds its ground on the study of the major artists of that time through the stylistic and iconographical study of their productions. From this investigation we can observe that the artists responsible for the strong impulse of the spanish sculpture in the last third of the twelth century were foreign artists coming from countries situated beyond north of the pyrenees. The first of those artists such as leodegarius or the sculptors of santo domingo de la calzada arrived in spain shortly after 1160 and they brought with them a certain amount of new ideas, among which the "statues - colonnes" those who came after in the 1170 - 1180 years such as the "maitre d'avila" and the "maitre de carrion de los condes", gave the spanish sculpture of the end of the century its first important works. They are also responsible for the creation of an artistic milieu highly innovating. And it is in this environment that other artists such as mathieu or the "maitre de silos" reached their fulfilment in the last two decades of the twefth century and gave the spanish romanesque art its greatest works. Besides, one of the interesting part of our study is to show that the largest number of those artists came from burgundy, and that it regions such as "ile-de france" or the west and south of france had a real influence on the development of the spanish sculpture of this period, it is on a large extend burgundy which played the main role in this artistic movement.
