Ancient sources of the ornamental patterns of monumental mosaic ensembles in Early Paleologan period
Abstract
The article deals with the ornamental patterns used in of the Kariye Camii (1316-1321) and the Fethiye Camii (c. 1315) in Constantinople, as well as the Church of the Holy Apostles in Thessaloniki (1310-1314).The study considers parallels between these motifs and the ornamental patterns which were popular in late antiquity and Early Christian period. The focus of much attention is the mosaic decoration of the Church of the Holy Apostles that is rendered with vivid realism and represents a high interest in antique heritage.
