Spanish historian. Senior professor in the Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad Complutense. Emeritus professor of History of Art in the last one. Provincial Councillor of Fine Arts. Honorary academic of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando) and of the "Purísima" of Valladolid. We can find a great path on the research of medieval iconography, studying its exact origin and meaning. He left a relevant contribution to the knowledge of Spanish popular art and cult of the Middle Ages, hence a support for the research of arts and culture on that large period of the Hispanic culture.
