The present volume brings
together selected papers from a colloquium held in
Rethymno
at the Institute for
Mediterranean Studies - Foundation for Research and
Technology Hellas
in January 2014.
Thirteen art historians,
historians and philologists focus on portable Russian
icons circulating in the Balkans during the Early Modern
and Modern periods.
The papers investigate the creation,
patronage, paths and routes of these artifacts, as well
as the various facets of their reception in the Balkans
in the framework of public and private religious piety.
This volume represents the first attempt to examine the
transfer and reception of the Russian icons preserved in
various churches, monasteries, private and museum
collections in the Balkans as a discrete element of the
region’s visual culture, to and inscribe the study of
these icons in the social and cultural context of their
host societies.
