Piété privée et processus de production artistique à Byzance: À propos d’un enkolpion Constantinopolitain (XIIIe-XIVe siècle)
Abstract
A silver enkolpion with stamped decoration was found in 1987 at the Belgratkapı (Xylokerkos) Gate in Istanbul among a Palaiologan coin hoard. The object helps illustrate the development of new devotional patterns and their transmission from the upper echelon of society to the broader base. The iconography of coins and seals serves as a major prototype for the production of enkolpia, while a network of imitations reflecting close contacts between various categories of artisans explains the recurrence of similar decorative patterns from individually worked pieces in precious materials to mass- produced items in cheaper materials. The images of the two Saints Theodore with Daniel in the lion’s den on the two sides of the Belgratkapı enkolpion further illustrate the networks of influence between Constantinople, the Balkans, and the West.
