Overview

Historical and stylistic analysis uncovers fourteenth-century chronologies for plasterwork and murals at the Palace of Galiana, highlighting the fusion of Andalusi and Christian artistic traditions.

Key Points

To determine the chronology, stylistic context, and visual function of the Mudéjar plasterwork and mural paintings introduced under Christian rule at the Palace of Galiana.
Conducted formal and iconographic evaluations of ground-floor plasterwork and upper-floor painted dados alongside Andalusi and Mudéjar comparative models.
Integrated material, stratigraphic, heraldic, and documentary evidence to resolve decorative chronologies and phases.
Ground-floor plasterwork dates securely to the late fourteenth century, around or shortly after 1397, based on converging heraldic and documentary records.
Upper-floor painted dados span the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries across multiple decorative phases, lacking a single absolute technical date.
Spatial distribution demonstrates an intentional architectural alignment connecting decorative ornament with surrounding views, landscape, and water features.
