The iconographic aspect of The Dormition of the Virgin Mary (early 13th century) from the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Abstract
The publication of the new catalogue of the Tretyakov Gallery collection has encouraged the detailed study of medieval Russian paintings. Among sixteen items included in the volume dealing with the earliest icons, frescoes and mosaics of the collection, is a thirteenth-century icon of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. The importance of this icon for the history of Byzantine art, notwithstanding its provenance from Novgorod, is proved by its style, which is similar to that of the monuments created by Greek artists in the early 13th century, as well as by its iconography which is examined in the present article.
