El Panteón Real de Poblet. Afirmación de la monarquía e innovación artística

The Royal Pantheon of Poblet, commissioned by King Pedro IV the Ceremonious in 1340, stands as a testament to the political and artistic ambition of the Aragonese monarchy. This monumental project, designed to affirm the dynasty's power and prestige, brought together some of the finest artists of the time, including Norman sculptor Aloy de Montbray, who introduced Parisian stylistic influences. The pantheon not only served as a burial site for prominent figures like Alfonso II el Casto and Jaime I the Conqueror but also emerged as a hub of artistic innovation in the Crown of Aragon. Through an analysis of historical records and artistic contributions, this study highlights how the pantheon's design and execution reflected the monarchy's desire to project strength and legitimacy during a period of political decline.
