Imagen y Cultura, which was registered in the first register of research structures of the Universitat de València, directed by Dr. Rafael García Mahíques. Since then, the team has led, within the Universitat de València, studies on image interpretation, taking iconology as a central methodology. Around this and other official research projects, the group has developed an extensive research activity with a high impact on the Spanish and international academic world, as well as a clear commitment to the training of new talents. From the beginning of its configuration, the APES group has had as one of its main recognitions the formative nature of its projects, the commitment to the internationalisation of its members, as well as the establishment of networks with other research groups, again both nationally and internationally. In terms of common products, the group's track record includes the organisation of several scientific meetings, the publication of collective works and the management of R&D projects.

In terms of common products, the group's track record includes the organisation of several scientific meetings, the publication of collective works and the management of R&D projects. Currently, the research group APES. Estudis de cultura visual is a consolidated team where the different members develop diverse lines of research whose wide range of topics have as their central axis the study and interpretation of the image, covering practically all fields of artistic visuality and under new methodological approaches such as the anthropology of the image. The hallmark of the APES group is the balance between the development of individual research and participation in a common disciplinary project that is manifested through the openness of the various lines of research, together with participation in joint projects, the creation of spaces for discussion and the desire for collaborative intellectual growth. In this sense, the group shares, mainly, the participation in the project "Los tipos iconográficos", carried out under the auspices of various official R&D grants, as a long term project of inter-university scope whose main objective is to offer a treatise on iconographic types with the aim of becoming a reference work at national and international level (especially for the Hispanic and Latin American world). Likewise, the group is jointly committed to identifying new approaches and lines of research which, by introducing an innovative approach to the study of the image, will generate spaces for discussion that will activate the discipline of art history, enabling it to participate in the construction of cultural history as well as an authentic history of the image.
