Description
Icon painting, the ultimate expression of Othodox Christian art, reachedrits zenith in the Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries. This book spans the entire period, showing the developpement of the style. The Ukrainian icon is a surprising synthesis of the traditions of eastern Byzantine art and the stylistic characteristics of Russian icon-painting. The introduction of this book explains the stages of developpement of icon-painting over five centuries in the Ukraine's major Centers of art - Kiev, Chernigov, Transcarpathia, Galicia, and Volhynia - and discusses the life and work of the masters of icon-painting. Despite the strict stylistic considerations imposed by the genre, Ukrainian icons display a striking range and variety of background and context. The author has been awarded the Ukrainian Medal of Arts, the Order of Princess Olga.
