Ktetor portraits of church dignitaries in Serbian post-Byzantine painting (part one)
View through CrossRef
Church dignitaries were often represented as ktetors in Serbian painting of
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, primarily in wall paintings and on
icons. The first part of this paper discusses twelve ktetor representations
of Serbian patriarchs and metropolitans. By analyzing the ktetoric projects
of Orthodox Serbs within the Ottoman Empire, the historical framework and
description of every portrait, it explores the questions regarding not only
the self-referentiality of the ktetors from the highest circles of the
clergy under the Patriarchate of Pec, the patterns and ways they wanted to
be represented and remembered, but also the ideological and program context
as well. Finally, this two-part study attempts to examine the question of
individual and collective identity, imagery and ideas constructing the
visual culture of clerical ktetorship in Serbian Post-Byzantine painting.
