Relaciones artíticas transfonterizas. La actividad de los canteros gallegos en la cuenca del Lima/Limia en la Época Moderna

Abstract

graphicalproximity and long-established trade and cultural links are the main reasons behind the significantinflux of Galician artists to the Lima Basin.A general overview of the work carried out by Galician artists and craftsmen in the Lima region shows that a significantpart of it was architectural in nature, most of it ecclesiastical, although Galician master masons wereoccasionally given secular commissions.However, much research still needs to be carried out in order to gain a more accurate picture of the expression,dimension and influence of these artists across northern Portugal as a whole.
