Temporis - Icons

内容简介

參考價：USD9.99 Icon painting has reached its zenith in Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries. This art is appealing because of its great openness to other influences – the obedience to the rules of Orthodox Christianity in its early stages, the borrowing from Roman heritage or later to the Western breakthroughs – combined with a never compromised assertion of a distinctly Slavic soul and identity. This book presents a handpicked and representative selection of works from the 11th century to the late Baroque period. About the author: Nikodim Pavlovich Kondakov was an art historian specialised in Russian culture and history. His extensive research on Russian Orthodox culture lead him to become the eminent specialist of Christian iconography. A true man of science, he was often the first to interpret the origin of certain icons.
