His research focuses on the production of illuminated manuscripts in Castile during the 15th century, with special attention on figurative motifs and seeking a relation between sculpture and architecture and other arts and iconographic models employed. He is also currently researching artistic patronage and promotion, as well as artistic exchange between the different courts of Europe at the end of the Middle Ages and Early Modern period.
