The mask motive in the Byzantine and Western Medieval Art. The features of the mask motive in the Church of the Theotokos Pantanassa in Mistra

Abstract

The article considers mask motif in Byzantine and Western medieval art looking through a prism of parallels and prototypes in antiquity. A special attention is given to masks framing images of Evangelists on the medaillons in the church of the Virgin Pantanassa in Mistra (1428). There are no direct analogy for its interpretation and iconography in the context of temple painting in Byzantine or Western medieval art, though its archetype can be traced back to antiquity. It can be found in antique imagery of masks and personifications which got the new life in Byzantium during the periods of revival of special interest in antiquity, acquiring new gradations of meaning in Christian art.
