This interpretation has also had a crucial impact on the analysis of monarchic ideologies and sacral kingship during the Middle Ages. However, the research prompted in Germany on the social praxis of Memoria has opened up new perspectives, by creating an active historiographical debate about the social function and meaning of royal portraits in the liturgical context during the Middle Ages (political/propagandistic vs religious/devotional). This book aims to foster this debate by analysing the functions and meanings of monarchic pictures characterized by sacral figures and symbols and religious and liturgical contexts in the Norman kingdom of Sicily (1130-1189). In the specific, it investigates three royal portraits: St. Nikolas blesses Roger II in the Basilica of St. Nikolas in Bari; Christ crows Roger II in the Church of St. Mary of the Admiral in Palermo; and Christ crowns William II in the Cathedral of Monreale. By going beyond traditional methodological tactics, its exegesis avoids a ?one-way? approach in which artwork is analysed in an ?autonomous? manner that extrapolates it from its historical, political and functional context. Moreover, it studies royal portraiture as part of a wider communicative strategy to create a mise-en-scène around the monarchic figure by comparing the iconographic sources and the information provided by written evidence regarding the monarch?s official kingship. This new analysis of the Norman royal portraits in the religious and liturgical context leads to original perspectives and uses new cues to reformulate the traditional ideas held by historiography in this regard and on political ideologies and royal sacrality. 517 $aDei gratia rex Sicilie 610 $aRoyal Iconography 610 $aBasilica of St.Nicholas in Bari 610 $aChurch of St. Mary of the Admiral in Palermo 610 $aRoyal Portrait 610 $aWilliam II 610 $aNormans 610 $aRoger II 610 $aKingodom of Sicily 610 $aRepresentation of Power 610 $aCathedral of Monreale 700 $aVagnoni$b Mirko$4auth$0749405 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910273486903321 996 $aDei gratia rex Sicilie$91532478 997 $aUNINA
