Romanicul rural în Țara Hațegului. Interferențe și contraste în discursul istoriografic modern
The Rural Romanesque Styles: Overlaps and Contrasts)

Summary/Abstract: The present research seeks to bring some new theoretical perspectives about the historiography and the relationships between international and local features of the rural Romanesque art in Transylvania (like those between the frescoes painted in the Romanian monuments from the 13th-15th centuries and mural cycles painted in the churches of Central, Western, and North-Eastern Europe in the 12th-13th centuries). A working hypothesis was that some mobile teams of craftsmen from Lombardy, who moved to Europe to the North and East, would have been engage in Transylvania. In the case of the churches in Hațeg, for example, this contribution has not been yet demonstrated on the basis of documents. However, the frescoes which still exist today help the art historians and the archaeologists to formulate very interesting hypotheses, in contrast or in relation to European phenomenon of rural Romanesque art.
