Heterodoxias y distorsiones en el arte en torno al Camino de Santiago

Resum

The article describes and analyzes several questions about art associated to the pilgrimage way to Santiago, specially focusing on medieval examples. Some aspects of these art works might seem surprising if considered from strictly orthodox perspectives, but can be explained related to their contemporary historical, artistic and cultural context. Cases referred are discussed in three groups: examples of iconography, reliquaries, and Spanish Islamic works of art.
