Demciuc „Nu Muntele Athos a influenţat Moldova, ci dimpotrivă, cultura cea mare a acesteia, comorile ei artistice, au influenţat întreaga dezvoltare a artei athonite” J. Strygowski Nordul Moldovei – Bucovina – prin poziţia geografică şi strategică, a însemnat, pentru multe veacuri o adevărată Ile de Moldavie asemenea acelei Ile de France, deşi întrecută de mănăstirile bucovinene prin unicele exemplare de artă ce le păstrează şi care, prin policromia înfăţişării lor din afară se pot compara mai curând cu faţadele de la San Marco din Veneţia ori cu domul din Orvietto. Oferă cazul rar de unitate a artei în armonica ei dezvoltare ce numai aici îşi are veritabilele clef de voute, pentru înţelegerea şi pătrunderea artei moldoveneşti în epoca ei creatoare de opere originale ca stil şi execuţie. Am folosit comparaţia şi voi continua, parafrazându-l pe academicianul Răzvan Theodorescu, spunând că Nordul Moldovei a fost ceea ce fuseseră în istorie Ile de France, pentru Franţa capeţiană, Wessex-ul pentru anglo-saxoni, Panonia pentru Ungaria arpadiană, Kievul pentru Rusikizii ruşi, Stara Planina pentru hanii şi ţarii bulgari. În acest spaţiu unde moştenirea bizantină avea să devină un reper, un model aulic pentru arta religioasă, pentru muzica liturgică, pentru nomocanoane şi pentru cronici, nu puţine sunt mărturiile care dovedesc că drumul septentrional menit să lege Bizanţul de noile suveranităţi importante ale Europei răsăritene, trecea prin Moldova Muşatinilor, după cum, tot nu puţine sunt mărturiile că Moldova se afla la fruntariile unei lumi europene a goticului extins până în Transilvania bisericilor hală din oraşele săseşti, până în spaţiul galiţian şi polono-lituanian de unde veneau din epoca celui dintâi muşatin planuri de cetăţi şi de biserici, paramente şi boltiri ogivale. Occidentului gotic îi va aparţine în arhitectură combinaţia cromatică subtilă, în faţade aparente de biserici, a gresiei cenuşii, a cărămizii şi a ceramicii decorative smălţuite în verde şi galben, în albastru, roşu şi brun, cu tenanţi heraldici, grifoni, sirene ori lei, totul ritmat de deschideri şerpuite ale stilului flamboaiant şi de viguroase

  • The Symbolic Significance of the String-Course in Orthodox Sacred Architecture
    European Journal of Science and Theology, June 2007, Vol.3, No.2, 61-70 _______________________________________________________________________ THE SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STRING-COURSE IN ORTHODOX SACRED ARCHITECTURE Mihaela Palade* University Bucharest, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Department of Sacred Art, Str. Sf. Ecaterina nr. 2,040155 Bucharest IV, Romania (Received 7 May 2007) Abstract A brief analysis of the decorative system peculiar to Romanian sacred architecture leads to singling out an element that distinctly stands out, being present in the overwhelming majority of the respective worship places. It is the string-course, a protruding ornament that circumscribes the median part of the façade and is made of various materials: stone, brick, plaster. At first sight it appears to be an agreeable, ingenious aesthetic solution, since the horizontal line it emphasizes enters into a pleasant dialogue with the vertical arches, windows, pillars and other upright elements. The present essay points out that this element is not a mere aesthetic device, but has a deep symbolic significance related to that of the church it girdles. Keywords: girding one’s waist with the belt, the Church – Christ’s mystical body, string- course, girding one with strength Motto: Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girded me with gladness. (Psalm 29/30.10, 11) 1. The presence of the string-course in the Orthodox sacred architecture; types and variations exemplified within the Romanian area In the Byzantine architecture, one or several horizontal profiles mark the outside decoration, surrounding the façade either from end to end or only partially.

    Theoretical and Applied Economics Volume XVIII (2011), No. 10(563), pp. 45-56 Moldavia and Maramureş – Micro-destinations * for Relaunching the Romanian Tourism Aurelia-Felicia STĂNCIOIU Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies [email protected] Ion PÂRGARU “Polytechnica” University of Bucharest [email protected] Nicolae TEODORESCU Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies [email protected] Anca-Daniela VLĂDOI Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies [email protected] Monica Paula RAŢIU Romanian American University of Bucharest [email protected] Abstract. Since Romania holds a rich tourism heritage and a great tourism potential, the tourism division into zones was drawn up as “a possibility toward a superior and complex development of the tourism resources, in a unified vision…” (Erdeli, Gheorghilaş, 2006, p. 264), this representing a permanent concern of the specialists from all fields that are related to the tourism management. Although the criteria for selection and ranking of the tourist attractions have been the subject of some controversies, regarding the types of tourism that can be practiced in these areas, there were arrived almost unanimous conclusions. In order to ensure the representativeness and considering that all historical regions of the contemporary Romania are to the same extent micro- destinations with a substantial “tourism heritage”, the regions of Moldavia (including Bukovina) and Maramureş were merged into one for the elaboration of the research that presents, in essence, the main types of tourism and a part of the treasury of Romanian age-old heritage. Keywords: tourism destination; tourism micro-destination; destination image; regional tourism brand; type of tourism; destination marketing. JEL Code: M31.

    DOI: 10.1515/rae-2017-0022 Review of Artistic Education no. 14 2017 166-174 6. SOME METHODOLOGY ASPECTS REGARDING THE ORGANIC DEPOSITS REMOVAL INTERVENTIONS IN THE PROTHESIS OF THE CHURCH OF DRAGOMIRNA MONASTERY Bogdan Teodor Gavrilean62 Abstract: Less visible to the general public, the area of the Prothesis inside the sanctuary of the “Pentecost” heritage church, of Dragomirna Monastery, shows a particular casuistic due to the diversity of types of degradation recorded at the time of its restoration (2011). The dominant form is the adherent candlewax deposits, present on the surface of the paint layer in various stages of hardness. The particular state of conservation features occurring in this area, corroborated with a series of aggravating environmental factors, imposed the application of a special restoration intervention methodology in the area of the Prothesis. Keywords: Heritage monuments, Northern Moldavia wall paintings, murals restoration, organic deposits, vandalism 1. Introduction.

Country house Wallachia PREFACE A SPEECH -DELIVERED AT A LECTURE IN THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW-YORK During the great historical movement known to us as the Renaissance, there appeared in one country after another men gifted with universal minds men possessed of such extraordinary intellectual power that no domain of human knowledge seemed to be beyond their grasp. FYOM Leonardo Da Vinci in Italy to Erasmus in Holland we find such a flowering of genius as has never been equalled in the his- tory of the world. Recently the question has been brought forward: Did the Renaissance so utterly exhaust the intellectual vitality of men that succeeding centuries have only been able to offer feeble imitations of its awe-inspiring minds? Are there no great men in modern times? When these _questions aroused discussion in the public press a few years 'ago, when even great men seemed to feel that modern life was not prOPitiOUS 10Y the unfolding of such extraordinary intellectual attain- ments, my thoughts reverted at once to Nicolae Iorga, that master intellect.

  • Midterm Scientific Report for the Years 2013 And
    Scientific Report for the years 2013–2015 The Romanian treasury of the Simonopetra monastery – Mount Athos: historical documents and applied research Grant funded by CNCS, UEFISCDI, PN-II-ID-PCE-2012-4-0552 The archives of monasteries of Mount Athos represent the most important deposit of unpublished documents concerning the medieval and modern history of the Romanian Principalities, outside the Romanian frontiers. The Romanian documentary fund of the 20 great monasteries (in Slavonic, Greek, Russian, French, Romanian, but also Romanian with Cyrillic characters) dates from the 15th-19th centuries. They were drafted both at Mount Athos and at the monasteries subjected to Mount Athos, situated in the country; the second type of documents was confiscated by the Law on the secularization of monastery estates (1863) and taken to the Holy Mountain. The Romanian historiography has been able to use just a small part of this fund, considering the existence of a few copies in the National Archives of Romania. Afterwards, through the efforts of Romanian and foreign historians, some of them were made public before the First World War and in the interwar period. Following the Second World War, considering the political system in Romania, it became very difficult to study the relations between the Romanian Principalities and Mount Athos. However, this important matter of Romanian and European history has enjoyed the attention of famous Romanian historians and of certain foreign specialists. A crucial event for discovering the relations between the Romanian Principalities and Mount Athos was the opening of the Holy Mountain archives, starting with the 90s. This event was the outcome of great efforts from the part of the Romanian researchers in exile Dumitru Nastase and Florin Marinescu.
