A monographic study of the caskets of Saints Adrian and Natalia from The
Art Institute of Chicago was carried out. Historiography of Romanesque art has
forgotten this piece, but it was studied analyzing the life cycle of both Eastern Saints,
examining its technical aspects as well as its epigraphs.
All is kept in the study limits of the origin of its worship in Byzantium, the
transfer of their relics to Rome and during the 9th and 10th centuries, its spread in the
old Astur-Leonese Kingdom. Finally, we studied the iconography in relation to the
Passio written about the martyr and a comparison is carried out with the silversmith
works in San Isidoro de Leon.
