The 21st issue of Hortus Artium Medievalium, scientific journal of the International Research Center for Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, University of Zagreb, has been presented to the public on May 21st 2015, during the Center’s 22nd annual colloquium held in Poreč.
The largest part of the volume gathers papers on the main topic: Performing Power through Visual Narratives in Late Medieval Europe: an Interdisciplinary Approach. The topic was chosen to enable comparative analysis of the images of power, one of the goals of the CROMART project, as stated in the introduction by project team member X. Barral I Altet. The conclusions elaborated by V. Lucherini, also project team member, are one of the milestones of the project.
The contributions of project team members to the topic (X. Barral, J.-P. Caillet, V. Lucherini, M. Guardia, C. Mancho), as well as in the blocks Varia (S. Bully, M. Jurković, M. Čaušević-Bully, M. Bradanović) and Book reviews (A. Chavarria, P. Chevalier, C. Mancho) are considerable, giving an important push to the development of research within the CROMART project.
On the same occasion was held the presentation of the book Kiparstvo od 4. do 13. stoljeća – Scultura dal IV al XIII secolo, written by two project team members, I. Matejčić and S. Mustač, and with catalogue entries by M. Jurković and P. Chevalier. The book, a synthesis on the sculpture from late antiquity to the end of Romanesque in Istria, followed by a catalogue of most of the monuments is exactly one of the main goals that the CROMART project wants to achieve.
