Oscar Calve Mascarell

Oscar Calve Mascarell is a Lecturer in the Department of History of Art at the Faculty of Geography and History, Universitat de València. His academic work is rooted in the study of artistic production and reception in the Valencian region during the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

His research interests focus on the formation and transmission of religious imagery, particularly in the context of late medieval devotional practices. He is a member of the MUPART research group (Memory and meaning: use and perception of artistic remains in Valencian region during Medieval and Early Modern Ages), which explores how artistic heritage is interpreted and repurposed across time.

The MUPART group emphasizes interdisciplinary methodologies, combining art historical analysis with cultural anthropology and historical theology to understand the social function of art. While no recent publications are listed in the provided text, his scholarly trajectory indicates a strong engagement with iconographic studies and the legacy of saints in Iberian visual culture.

Oscar Calve completed his doctoral studies at the same institution, with a thesis on the 15th-century image of Saint Vincent Ferrer, a major Valencian saint. His work contributes to broader discussions on hagiography, public devotion, and the political use of religious imagery in pre-modern Europe.
