Byzantine, Ancient and Western traditions in architectural landscapes wallpaintings in the Church of the Virgin Pantanassa in Mistra

Abstract

The article is an attempt to analyse peculiarities of architectural compositions and space image specifics in the wallpaintings of the Church of the Virgin Pantanassa in Mistra in the context of Byzantine painting as well as their prototype search in Hellenistic and Western traditions. In the course of the analyzing the author features sources of Byzantine tradition of space imaging and its key difference from Hellenistic and Western ones. The article also considers probable semantics of the architectural images in the Late Paleologan paintings, what is taken as a basic for a new approach to conceptualization of Pantanassa wallpaintings in cultural and intellectual contexts of the Late Paleologan art.
