| description | The paper reviews the dating and meaning of the first-layer frescoes in Saint
George Rotunda in Sofia. The angelic worship of Christ in the dome is here
interpreted in a liturgical vein, as is indicated by the poses of the
angels. This motif can be traced in the churches of the Archbishopric of
Ohrid starting from Saint Sophia Cathedral (ca. 1052-56). It is to that
ensemble that the Rotunda frescoes are closest in style as well. Thus, they
should be viewed in the context of the activities of Archbishop Leo, in
whose time the construction and decoration of churches in the Archbishopric
of Ohrid reached a new level. |
