Summary

With Romanesque art, the Basque Country proclaims its integration into the Europe that ha been unified by language and culture as from the beginning of the 11th century. The author therefore begins his reflection studying Romanesque art as "a European language", and as an artistic language favoured by the opening of the Way to Santiago de Compostela. Subsequently he analyses the "First Basque Romanesque art", the iconography and the expansion of Romanesque art throughout the territory. He then makes a tour of the most noteworthy 12th and 13th century sculptures and luxury arts. A final reflection synthesises Basque Romanesque art as an expression of a people.
