Francesc Granell Sales

Francesc Granell Sales is a Researcher at the Universitat de València, affiliated with the Department of History of Art. He is part of the research group MUPART (Memory and meaning: use and perception of artistic remains in Valencian region during Medieval and Early Modern Ages). His work focuses on Medieval Visual Culture, Gothic Studies, and the Medieval Crown of Aragon, with particular emphasis on the memory and representation of King James I of Aragon in late medieval Valencia.

Granell Sales' research explores how visual media – manuscripts, paintings, and civic performances – shaped historical perceptions of monarchs, religious others, and conquest narratives. His 2024 book Jaume I en la València baixmedieval analyzes the king's posthumous visual legacy, while articles like El ideal de cruzada en Valencia (2024) and ¿Musulmán o judío? (2024) examine crusade ideology and interreligious iconographic hybridity. His publications frequently address urban historiography, artistic patronage, and late Gothic visual strategies.

Scientific awards and grants are not mentioned in the provided texts. Granell Sales has not explicitly supervised students listed in the data, but his work intersects with medieval manuscript studies, religious art, and Valencian cultural heritage through detailed analyses of altarpieces, chroniclers' works, and urban monuments.
