Sculture asturiane del IX secolo

Asturian art, particularly during the reign of King Ramiro I, exhibits a distinct and original style characterized by significant architectural and sculptural achievements. This 'Ramirense' period, marked by maturity in the Kingdom of Asturias, is represented by masterpieces such as the Santa María de Naranco palace and the San Miguel de Liño palatine church, both located near Oviedo on Monte Naranco. While the Santa Cristina de Lena church is also linked to this style, its attribution remains debated among scholars, with some associating it with King Ordoño I. The research highlights the importance of sculptural decoration in these monuments, contributing to the understanding of artistic development during this pivotal era.
