Under the authority of the \u0000Romantic gothic revival, in 1859 the Jocs Florals, were, in fact, a meteoric, sumptuous chapter in the operation known by its own instigators \u0000as the Renaixenca (Renaissance), the diverse communicative movement with which the elites of the day set out to symbolically \u0000project and impose themselves. Since then, beyond the literary competition which they primarily are, the Jocs Florals have polarised \u0000the intense symbolic, monumentalising and civic activity that ended up shaping the shared code of the culture of Catalanism. At \u0000the same time, by vindicating the symbolic and heritage value of the Catalan language, they opened up a space for cultivated literary \u0000uses which, after being successively expanded, served as the seed of the contemporary Catalan literary system, independent of the fact \u0000that the literary norm that the Jocs Florals promoted soon entered into crisis and that they would be vehemently spurned. However, \u0000they remained intact as a civic platform and instrument of agitation and propaganda, as proven by their profuse replication around the \u0000Catalan-speaking lands and their infiltration into popular festivities, as well as their militant journeys around Europe and America in \u0000the 20th century, after being banned by the Franco regime.","PeriodicalId":38516,"journal":{"name":"Catalan Historical Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"73-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68924038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though the mural paintings from the Romanesque cathedrals or the great abbeys like Ripoll no longer survive, what has been conserved is quite notable both stylistically and iconographically. The surviving frescoes were mainly inspired by the art of early Christian Rome and that of the Gregorian reform, yet also by Byzantine sources and by Lombard and Germanic styles and prototypes, all translated into highly original programmes of images. The most emblematic works are conserved at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC), such as the apse from Sant Climent de Taull, a capolavoro of European Romanesque painting, and the apses from Sant Pere de la Seu d'Urgell and Santa Maria d'Aneu, both boasting outstanding quality, along with the paintings from Sant Joan in Boi, Sant Quirze de Pedret, Sorpe and el Burgal. Together with the frescoes at the Museu Diocesa i Comarcal de Solsona, the Museu Episcopal de Vic, the Museu d'Art de Girona and the Museu Diocesa d'Urgell, along with the numerous murals and remains of paintings conserved in situ, many of them discovered in recent years, they enable us to envisage the scope of this Catalan Romanesque art. Of these discoveries, perhaps the most noteworthy are the paintings from Sant Vicenc d'Estamariu, as well as the new images on the triumphant arches of Sant Climent de Taull. This article summarises the most important part of this mural painting heritage as well as the most recent literature on the subject.","PeriodicalId":38516,"journal":{"name":"Catalan Historical Review","volume":"120 1","pages":"45-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68923876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sota l’autoritat del gothic revival romantic, els Jocs eren, de fet, en el punt de 1859, un capitol estel·lar i sumptuos de l’operacio anomenada «renaixenca» pels seus mateixos protagonistes, la diversa operacio comunicativa amb que les elits del moment proposaven de projectar-se i d’imposar-se en el pla simbolic.
