God is the source of all gifts, apportioning them according to His great wisdom and benevolence to man. And this happens to include the gifts which can be seen, read, and admired in all sections of ecclesiastical art. There is no doubt—and many people bear witness to this—that a great many creative people and artists have had within them, in addition to their talent, that profound faith and piety which confesses their work to be “the gift of God by the hand of…” and intends it to glorify Him. They were aware that their skill was used to serve the divine worship that made their works sacred. The ecclesiastical art, nowadays universally admired, which belongs to us in the Eastern Orthodox Church, from architecture down to the smallest works of the minor arts, attests to this. And this can be more profoundly under- stood and better evaluated if it is approached by specialists and others, not just with admiration for the work, but with awe and piety, since any holy heirloom and work of art which has been used in divine worship is inhabited by the inalienable grace of the blessing with holy water, even if it is no longer used for religious purposes, but displayed in a museum. Yet in addition to their sacredness, each of these heirlooms is connected with historical memory, recalling its provenance or the place where it was used in the days when that place was flourishing in cultural and religious terms, as well as in times when the Christian community was undergoing ordeals and the struggle to save itself, until it ended up in a museum display case, or being used in new churches, built by the Orthodox communities who had had to move away, but who had once been under the auspices of the Most Holy Ecumenical Throne of the Martyrs. And moreover, wherever these works ended up, whether near or far, where they were known and studied, not only were they valued for their artistry and their history, but they provided inspiration for new creations. The Mother Church of Constantinople is most especially delighted with this exhibition which has been organ- ized by the Benaki Museum in the newly established museum in Chambésy, part of the Orthodox Centre in Geneva, nobly sponsored in this case by the much-honoured Latsis family. Wherefore, congratulating and thanking those who have contributed to the exhibition, and pouring paternal and Patriarchal blessings on their heads, we wholeheartedly wish the worthy aim of this exhibition every success. 24 August 2010 His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome 6 Aux frères qui nous liront et aux chers enfants de notre modeste personne dans le Seigneur, grâce et paix au nom de Dieu. Dieu est la source de tous les dons et dans Sa grande sagesse et Sa grande bonté Il les partage entre les hommes. Tels sont les dons que l’on observe, reconnaît et admire dans les domaines de l’art ecclésiastique. Dans la plupart des cas, il est sûr et attesté à de multiples titres qu’il y avait chez les artistes créateurs, en même temps que le don, la foi profonde et la piété confessant le « don de Dieu, par l’intermédiaire de la main… » et visant à Sa glorification. Ces artistes avaient le sentiment que leur art était au service du culte divin qui sanctifiait leurs œuvres. L’art ecclésiastique admiré de tous aujourd’hui, en particulier celui de l’Orient orthodoxe grec, de l’architecture aux plus petits objets, témoigne de ce qui précède. On le comprend plus profondément et on l’estime davantage, quand on l’aborde, que l’on soit ou non spécialiste, non seulement avec admiration pour l’œuvre, mais aussi avec crainte révéren- cielle et piété, étant donné que toute sainte relique d’art ayant été utilisée dans le culte divin est inséparable de la grâce de la sanctification qui réside en elle, encore qu’elle ne soit plus en usage dans le culte mais exposée dans un musée. Mais outre sa sainteté, chacune de ces reliques est liée à la mémoire historique et renvoie à son lieu d’origine ou d’utilisation, à des périodes de prospérité culturelle et ecclésiastique du pays, à des périodes de tribulations des fidèles chrétiens et aux péripéties du sauvetage de l’objet, jusqu’à ce qu’il aboutisse dans la vitrine d’un musée ou dans de nouvelles églises destinées au culte édifiées par les communautés orthodoxes déplacées, ayant jadis appartenu au très vénérable et tant éprouvé Trône œcuménique. De plus, quel que soit l’endroit, proche ou lointain, où les œuvres ont abouti, étant connues et étudiées, non seulement elles font l’objet d’une estimation artistique et historique, mais elles constituent une source d’inspiration pour une création nouvelle. Notre Mère l’Église de Constantinople se réjouit tout particulièrement de l’exposition organisée dans le nouveau musée de son Centre orthodoxe de Chambésy-Genève par le musée Benaki avec, en l’occurrence, l’aimable concours financier de la très honorable famille Latsis. C’est pourquoi, en félicitant et remerciant ceux qui ont concouru à cette exposition et tout en leur prodiguant nos bénédictions paternelles et patriarcales, nous souhaitons de tout cœur que cette manifestation atteigne pleinement le but louable qu’elle s’est proposé. 24 août 2010 Sa Sainteté, le Patriarche Œcuménique Bartholomée Archevêque de Constantinople-Nouvelle Rome 7 The John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation has made the support and promotion of cultural activities one of the mainstays of its charitable work in Greece and abroad. The special place occupied by ecclesiastical art in cultural creativity worldwide was the fundamental criterion behind the decision to take on sole sponsorship of the exhibition entitled: Relics of the Past: Treasures of the Greek Orthodox Church and the Population Exchange – The Benaki Museum Collections. Sacred heirlooms representing the Orthodox refugee communities from Asia Minor, the Pontos, and Eastern Thrace are displayed in this exhibition, breathing new life in a unique way into religious sentiments, historical memories and local traditions lost in the mists of time. With this exhibition the Orthodox Centre in Chambésy, spiritual powerhouse of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Switzerland, is celebrating the official opening of the Museum of Christian Art, a space dedicated to the systematic promotion of the religious and cultural heritage of the Ecumenical Patriarchate through the ages.

  • ¬¬Ottoman Metalwork
    1 Anna Ballian, Benaki Museum, Athens Silverwork Produced in Ottoman Trikala (Thessaly): Problems of Taxonomy and Interpretation] In the late 1980s and particularly in the 1990s, interest in Ottoman and post- Byzantine silverwork in Greece was sparked by the publication of material from the sacristies of major Greek Orthodox monasteries, as well as by exhibitions of liturgical silver from Greek museums (Ikonomaki-Papadopoulou 1988; Ikonomaki- Papadopoulou 1990; Ikonomaki-Papadopoulou 1991; Ballian 1991; Borboudakis 1994; Ballian 1998; Karakatsanis 1997). There were many reasons for this delayed interest. On the one hand, Ottoman metalwork had emerged as a distinct area of research in 1982, with Julian Raby and James Allan’s contribution to Tulips, Arabesques and Turbans (Raby and Allan 1982). Various styles of 16th-century Ottoman metalwork were identified and the issue of Balkan silver was presented for the first time. On the other hand, post-Byzantine metalwork, silverwork especially, was also an overlooked field. Unlike painting from Crete or mainland Greece which was feeding the ongoing quest for a Byzantine continuum, post-Byzantine silverwork did not on the whole fit into the context of 20th-century research interests and nationalistic historiography. Not much had survived from the 16th and 17th centuries (or had been identified as being from that time), and what had survived (mainly material dated to the 18th and 19th centuries) was not particularly appreciated owing to its heavy ‘Ottoman Baroque’ leanings, which were perceived as debased and lacking as regards ethnic purity. POST-BYZANTINE, OTTOMAN, AND BALKAN At this point, it will be useful to spend a little time on terminology, because three different terms – post-Byzantine, Ottoman, and Balkan – are used in parallel to denote silverwork of the same period.

  • The Revolution of Tudor Vladimirescu – 200 Years of National Rebirth
    THE REVOLUTION OF TUDOR VLADIMIRESCU – 200 YEARS OF NATIONAL REBIRTH Cornelia Beatrice Gabriela ENE-DINU* Abstract With the Revolution led by Tudor Vladimirescu, the Romanian nation joined the European nations’ movement to affirm their sovereign rights. By their sustained actions and by adhering to the novel ideas emerging across Europe at that time, a generation of Romanian patriots coming from all Romanian territories contributed to the ascent of the Romanian nation and the fulfillment of its political, cultural, social and economic aspirations. The period of national rebirth helped prepare the internal changes in the Danubian Principalities that were brought about by the events in the second half of the 19th century. It was the period when the domestic forces in the principalities determined the goals of their actions and how to fulfill those goals. The Romanian national movement was therefore gradually defining its own way of affirmation and the purpose thereof: achieving national unity. Keywords: revolution, rights, Romanian nation, principalities, national movement, Phanariote regime, domestic rule, oppression, taxation obligations, Ottoman Empire, Phanariotes, privileges, political aspirations. 1820); his predecessor, Ioan Caragea, had left the office in September 1818 after having made an immense 1.

Il s’agit de revisiter la question des « élites » en adoptant un regard pluridisciplinaire, transversal et, si possible, comparatiste. Par « élites », il faut entendre tous ceux – politiques, intellectuels, artistes, financiers – qui, à des degrés divers, ont assumé un rôle de leadership et pesé dans la trajectoire de leur pays, mais aussi dans la formation de l’identité culturelle de leurs concitoyens. Dans la longue histoire de l’hellénisme et en particulier depuis la période qui a précédé la fondation de l’État néo-hellénique indépendant jusqu’à nos jours, les terrains sur lesquels ces élites ont laissé leurs marques sont nombreux : langue, littérature, arts (musique, peinture, théâtre, cinéma), éducation, droit, religion, développement économique, aménagement urbain, appareil étatique, recherche scientifique, etc.
