| Summary: | The relief composition of the Mission of the Apostles is carved on the inner
faces of the lintel and the doorpost of the west portal of the late
twelfth-century Church of the Holy Virgin (Virgin’s Church) of the Studenica
Monastery in Serbia and is based on the Romanesque iconographical pattern.
The paper demonstrates the peculiarities of the Studenica composition
compared to Italian Romanesque compositions of the Mission of the Apostles
and Western Christian iconography in general, influenced by Byzantine art.
Тhe so-called Roman type of St. Peter and the “Latin” variation of the sign
of blessing in the Church, represented in the Mission of the Apostles at the
Studenica Monastery, have been analyzed to demonstrate that they are not
exclusively part of Western iconography. |
