Description

The grant from the National Programme for the Development of Humanities, obtained in 2015, enabled the preparation of the corpus of the oldest icons from the collection of the National Museum in Krakow. It is one of the oldest collections in Europe, accumulated since the 1880s. The research ?eld concerns a collection of about forty icons. The overwhelming majority comprises local works from the 15th-16th century, originating from the Ruthenian lands of the former Polish Republic, diverse in terms of iconography. Among them are icons depicting the Mandylion, Hodegetria in various representational varieties (with prophets, apostles), Pantocrator, St. Nicholas and St. Paraskeva, surrounded by scenes from their life and martyrdom, as well as monumental icons illustrating The Last Judgement. On the one hand, the collected material represents a high level of post-Byzantine art, and on the other, it constitutes an example of a gradual adaptation of Western iconography models and styles through printed ephemera.The publication aims to present the splendour of this collection, using the widest possible research methods (photographs in various wave ranges, analysis of pigments and wood) with particular attention to the impressive content of the Orthodox Church and Slavic inscriptions.
