    EtnoAntropologia, 7 (2) 2019 - ISSN 2284-0176 Ukrainian domestic icon The development of tradition Oksana Triska Abstract. The paper describes the formation process of the domestic icon – one of the most important religious and ritual objects of the Ukrainian peasantry. Its roots date back to the period of Kyivan Rus’, and its prosperity – to the nineteenth century. The author draws attention to the evolution of tradition and various forms of manifestations throughout Ukraine. Keywords: domestic icon, Ukraine, everyday life, tradition. It is not clear when the icons first appeared on the walls of Ukrainian homes, however, it is a well-known ancient custom that has been practiced in different countries, regardless of religion [Sherotsky 1913]. The history of domestic icon is associated with the beginning and end stages of the classic iconography development period. During the birth of Christianity, the icon was an object of personal use. With the evolution of Christian doctrine, it was given important church and national value. In Byzantium, it became a testament to the religious tradition and helped form a powerful national identity. The images of the saints symbolized and confirmed the unity of faith. "The demonstrative worship of the icons served as a reason for the church to regulate the cult" [Belting, 2002, 42, 13], and formed the conventional rituals of worshiping the saints. From the beginning the icon was a sign of God's mercy. The need for an icon, as a symbol of patronage, has always sharply emerged in times of crisis. The need to see a patron, to turn to him, went from temples to homes, and thus the cult of the saints continued in personal use [Belting, 2002, 54].

Nella prima parte della tesi, ho analizzato le dinamiche fondamentali del periodo storico in cui è stato realizzato il mosaico: le guerre, la politica e il commercio. Ho interpretato il mosaico come strumento di propaganda antiturca. In questo senso, includendo il simbolismo del nemico nello studio, ho cercato di dimostrare sia il legame del mosaico con i Turchi sia l'influenza non esplicita dei Turchi nella creazione di alcune immagini di difficile interpretazione nell'arte medievale europea. Nella seconda parte, ho proposto di decifrare le controverse iscrizioni descrittive sul mosaico sulla base dell'iconografia della Torah, dell'Antico e del Nuovo Testamento. Spero che questa prospettiva inusuale contribuisca a valutazioni differenti di altre opere d'arte del periodo medievale e stimoli nuovi studi avanzati. Sono davvero grata ai miei professori Xavier Barral I Altet e Simone Piazza per avermi dato la possibilità di lavorare su questo straordinario argomento. Vorrei anche ringraziare la Prof.ssa Agazzi per le sue critiche costruttive della tesi.

  • Italian Inspiration for the Painting Decorations by Maciej Jan Meyer from the First Half of the Eighteenth Century in Szembek Chapel at the Cathedral in Frombork
    perspektywy kultury / The Mediterranean Sea—The Center of the World or the Periphery? perspectives on culture No. 30 (3/2020) Szymon Tracz http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6540-0118 The Pontificial University of John Paul II in Krakow [email protected] DOI: 10.35765/pk.2020.3003.11 Italian Inspiration for the Painting Decorations by Maciej Jan Meyer from the First Half of the Eighteenth Century in Szembek Chapel at the Cathedral in Frombork ABSTRACT The Bishop of Warmia, Krzysztof Andrzej Jan Szembek from Słupów (1680– 1740), erected a domed reliquary chapel devoted to the Most Holy Savior and St. Theodore the Martyr (Saint Theodore of Amasea) at the cathedral in Frombork, also known as Szembek Chapel. The entire interior of the chapel is covered with frescoes dating from around 1735 by Maciej Jan Meyer (Mat- thias Johann Meyer) from Lidzbark Warmiński. Educated in Italy, the artist made polychrome decorations in the style of illusionistic architectural paint- ing known as quadrature. In the lower part of the chapel stand busts of saints and the entire figure of St. Theodore of Amasea; in the cupola of the dome is the adoration of the Holy Trinity and the Holy Cross by the Mother of God and the Saints. Using the comparative method, I discuss the decoration of the chapel in the context of quadrature painting, which was developing in Italy and then in Central Europe, especially at the end of the 17th and the first half of the 18th centuries. Influential artists who played an important role for Pol- ish quadratura techniques were Andrea Pozzo (1642–1709) and painters who came from Italy or studied painting there, such as Maciej Jan Meyer.

No part of this publication may be uploaded, printed for sale or distribution, or otherwise transmitted or sold without the prior permission in writing of the editor. © John Allen Hackney III, 2017. COMPONENTS AND STRUCTURE OF THIS KALENDAR. The kalendar below includes all information pertinent to the dates (Roman and modern) of the feasts; the golden numbers;1 the identities of the saints; and the classifications of their feasts as given in the main text of the office Temporale of Risby. Other entries commonly found on medieval kalendars (e.g. the dates of the zodiac, agricultural seasons, Egyptian days, rules for the leap year, and so forth) are not included. For the feasts of a few English saints, the apostles, evangelists, and doctors, all of which have conflicting classifications in the Customary,2 the classifications discernible in the Ordinal are given in the kalendar, and the classifications from the Customary are given in the footnotes. The kalendar is written principally in English. Names are spelled in their most easily recognized form (often a subjective decision!), and regional or ecclesiastical information is given to clarify their identity. Apostles, evangelists, martyrs, bishops, other clergy, and monarchs are identified by their titles. All other saints are confessors (men) or virgins (women), whether specifically identified as such in the kalendar or not. The classifications of the feasts, written with the usual Latin abbreviations, are more detailed than those found in historical kalendars.
