4 Appendixes: 1. Text 1 Szczepkowski Andrzej, Ikona karpacka, przewodnik po wystawie, s. 4, Sanok Presence in the Polish lands of iconic painting, which is a product of the culture of the Orthodox people is an interesting phenomenon in the history of artistic culture. The harsh dispute that arose in the Christian world (among other things, on the background of the cult of images), led to the split of the Church, which ended in 1054 with the Eastern schism. There were two centres of civilization and religious culture: Rome and Byzantium. Poland, under the influence of Rome, developed its art in the circle of Western culture, while the neighbouring Kievan Rus', accepting Christianity from the East, was bound and subordinated to Byzantine culture. Poland has encountered Orthodox art in the first half of the 14th century during the reign of King Casimir the Great, who in 1340 incorporated to the Polish Crown territory land of Red Ruthenia. The incorporated areas included following lands: Lvov, Przemysl, Sanok and Halice, which belonged to the orthodox church structure. Empty mountain areas of the incorporated lands were developed by settling them with people from the areas of present Romania, Wallachia and Moldova. It was a population of the Orthodox faith, and therefore every location privilege under the Wallachian law guaranteed the settlers maintaining their faith by holding religious rites in the Orthodox Church. The appearance of icons in the territory of the Carpathians can be associated with the Wallachian settlement. The argument in favour of looking at the origin of icons in Poland in this way is that the areas colonized by Wolohs closely coincide with the range of icons, which on the northern side of the Carpathians appear only in the first half of the fifteenth century, during the period of settlement movement increase. However, it should be borne in mind that Wallachia and Moldova were the main successors of Byzantine art after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and Romania was the only area that allowed to develop it freely. Herein Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian artists from the countries occupied by the Turks found a shelter and employment. Questions to the text: When and under what circumstances did the icons appear on the northern side of the Carpathians, on Polish territory? 2. It should be assumed that we owe Wallachian settlers the appearance of iconostasis in Poland. All the oldest preserved icons are dated to the 15th century iconic images. Based on it, it can be said that in the 15th century Carpathian Orthodox Church an iconographic program based on Balkan iconostasis was implemented. Iconostasis was placed on a log wall, separating the presbytery from the nave, where previously the altar partition was necessary to be located. Their iconographic program inspired by a liturgy was taken over from wall painting art. Icons hung in rows expressed the basic truths of faith and represent the most important Christian concepts. In the fifteenth century the iconstasis had three tiers. Its full iconographic program consisted of the imperial gates with the representation of the Annunciation and the figures of the four evangelists, then on both sides were the icons of Christ Pantocrator and Our Lady of Hodegetria, and later the Archangel Michael or St. Parascheva of the Balkans. Over the imperial gate the Image of Edessa was hung, above as the second tier Deesis icon, and the whole icnostasis was crowned by the icon of the Crucifixion. In the second half of the 16th century, the iconostasis was subjected to changes resulting from the provisions of the Stuglavian Council, which took place in 1551 in Moscow after the fall of Byzantium centre of the Orthodox Church. Preserved icons from this period give us an idea of the form and iconography of the 16th century iconostasis. The Iconostasis expands, enlarges the iconographic program with a new tier of Christmas icons (prazdniki) and introduces to Deesis full composition of the apostles, ordering and unifying the prevailing then freedom in the selection of saints. The 4
5 apostles placed in the statue icon of the Mother of God are raised to the Deesis tier, as the most suitable, next to Mother Virgin and John the Baptist, the disciples chosen by Christ himself. Their presence profoundly implements the content of Deesis as an idea of the Church built on the apostles as its foundation on the earth. They are equipped with scrolls and books, attributes of the disciples sent to preach the Gospel. The appearance at the end of the sixteenth century in the crown of the iconostasis of silhouette shaped crosses and figures from the cross (Mother Virgin and St. John) in the place of the icon of the Crucifixion is also new. The iconostasis took on a more monumental form of the wall filled tightly with the images. Questions to the text: Based on the text and the illustration describe the structure of the Carpathian iconostasis and its changes in the 16th century. 3. The iconostasis was subjected to more radical changes in the seventeenth century, which was a breakthrough in the life of the Eastern Church in Poland. Still undertaken in the 14th century attempts of religious union formation were concluded in 1596 with a church union in Brest on the Bug River (Brest union). Its consequence was the creation of a new religion, a new Greek Catholic church, whose formation in the Rzeczpospolita lasted throughout the seventeenth century. Such significant changes in the life of the Eastern Church affected also the art that was always closely linked with the Orthodox Church. The approach of the orthodox church to the Catholic Church and the art in it, as well as direct contact with the renaissance style, caused radical changes in the interpretation of the icon and consequently its painting. The icons of the 17th century reveal surprising new features, origin of which should be seen in independence from the Byzantine tradition and subordination to the needs of the local church. The newly formed Greek Catholic Church needed icons created in a new spirit, so theologians and artists faced very difficult task of creating an icon that would reconcile the religious and artistic traditions of the East and West. This meant the need to reconcile the eastern conception of the icon with Western vision. The effect of these efforts, visible in the 17th century iconic painting, allows to say that in the area of the eastern lands of the former Rzeczpospolita, at the crossroads of two cultures, there was an art combining the heritage of Byzantine culture with Western sacred art. Under the influence of the Western art, the icon undergoes ideological, iconographic and formal transformations. Renaissance, (...) reaching the Russian lands of the Rzeczpospolita changed the icon perception. It broke the Byzantine sense of form, and his realism hit the abstract, idealistic values of the icon, depriving it of the essential meaning of the presence theology (the constant presence of the saint in the icon) and thus approaching the level of the religious image. 4. According to the findings of the Brest Union, the followers of the Greek Catholic Church have preserved the eastern form of the liturgy in their religious practices. In this way they also kept an iconostasis, which was an inseparable part of it. The iconostasis, which is now evidently deviating from the earlier forms, departs from the symbolic program for didactic functions and formally from the Byzantine canon and take on elements of subsequent historical styles (renaissance, baroque, classicism). The content and form of the 17th century iconostasis seems to be an expression of the desire to reconcile two hitherto opposing philosophies and artistic directions: idealism and realism. The new iconostasis, aimed on fulfilling educational functions, had to give up the theologically complex symbolic program, too difficult and often incomprehensible to the local audience. It was aimed on bringing the Gospel closer, but not with the difficult, ideological-dogmatic language of the great Orthodox theologians, but in a simple and understandable way, because it was often the only available source of religious knowledge Iconostas in his didactic program expressed the basic truths of faith and taught the story of salvation, which was uttered in the extensive iconographic program contained in the images on the wall of the 5-tier iconostasis. On the central vertical axis, the main ideas of Christianity were emphasised: The Incarnation of God (the Annunciation on the imperial gate), Redemption (Cross in the crown of the iconostasis with the image of Christ crucified), Glory of Christ (Deesis icon). In the horizontal layout five tiers: 5
6 predelle, patronal icons, festive icons (prazdniki), apostles, prophets. The iconostasis receives the second deaconl doors, making its architecture symmetrical. It is thought to be a spatial, three-dimensional wall composed of horizontal tiers, with horizontal and vertical architectural divisions defined by beams, cornices, pilasters and columns. Icons are embedded within the framework of an architectural type, developed during the Italian Renaissance. The frame, together with its sculpture decoration, caused the most important formal change of iconostasis - the transformation of a flat, purely painted picture wall into a three-dimensional set, which is a synthesis of painting, sculpture and architecture. In iconographic solutions, the elements of Byzantine origin with the West are merged. A number of traditional themes receive new western interpretation, as well as brand new themes. The influence of the Western art is primarily reflected in the realistic tendencies of compositional solutions. The faces of the saints, their poses, gestures, their robes, as well as the background and the arrangement are subjected to changes. Ideological, iconographic and formal changes can be observed in almost every theme, since all the icons that are now being created are the expression of a new theological and artistic concept. In the 18th century, the iconostasis was a continuation of the form and program established in the 17th century. It is only stylishly updated by the introduction of baroque ornamental elements. Expanded construction, deepened art, enriched ornamentation have begun to dominate over painting itself. App. 5. 6
