Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich’s Constantinople Barmy Revisited
View through CrossRef
In 1662, the Greek merchant Ivan Yuryev Repetas delivered to Moscow the barmy (regalia collar) (diadem) made in Constantinople on special request from Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich. This wonderful piece of ancient art has survived to this day almost unchanged and is now deposited in the Kremlin Armory. Several generations of scholars have paid attention to the story of the barmy, its creation, artistic design and the significance of the images on enamel medallions. This discussion revealed disagreements among researchers. Not very long ago, there emerged the idea that it is Ivan Yuriev Repeta who was the jeweler and author of the diadem. This opinion is not supported by documents. However, revisiting the written sources not only makes it possible to make additions to the previously known data, but to name the master who made the Constantinople barmy for Alexey Mikhailovich.
