Ikonography St. John of Damascus: In Defense of the Holy Ikons: Excerpted from On Holy Images and The Fount of Wisdom The Shroud of St. Sergius of Radonezh Byzantine Archtecture and Ikonography: part of a photographic exhibition of art and architecture from the classical to Medieval periods at Dakota State University. Most examples are from the west. Pskov Historical and Art Museum: Ikons of St. Nicholas, St. Juliana (Ulyana), St. Barbara, The Descent into Hell (Anastasis), The Dormition (Assumption) and the Kiev Princes (this is a "cutout" from a larger Ikon. Could be SS Boris & Gleb, but they seem to be wearing episcopal vestments). Deësis (?) (The Deities--The title/description provided for these Ikons follows the sometimes hilarious attempts of a certain type of scholar to translate technical theological terms into English. Hence Deësis=Deities). There are three ikons here (possibly a triptych) with St. John the Forerunner in the middle flanked by SS Peter & Paul -- not the traditional Deëis but close enough for the confusion. Feast day Ikons (various): The Virgin of Vladimir, St. Paul and the Ascension (two separate Ikons on one panel). [An additional note on scholarly "translations"-- the parish which owns these websites has on file a letterhead from a parish named the "Intercession of the Virgin" (Pokrov) and located somewhere in the CIS. The English translation provided of said title of dedication is "The Church of the Fairy Godmother" -- I'm not making this up, folks. Bulgarian Ikons: Mostly by a contemporary named Lyubomil Draganov The Light of Christ: Iconography of Gregory Kroug The outgrowth of a project to record the extant iconography of Fr. Gregory Kroug -- an associate of Leonid Ouspensky -- who painted in several places in several media - live fesco, egg tempera. Much of his work was in small, makeshift, poorly maintained buildings adapted for use as chapels. Text by Fr. Andrew Tregubov. Byzantine Icon Art: Paul Boyce, Phd President of CSG Interactive is also a member of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine CA. where he has started on the road to iconography. Here is displayed some of his work along with some description and analysis. |
