Kondakov, Nikodim Pavlovich

Icons / Nikodim Pavlovich Kondakov - New York : Parkstone International , 2008 - 255 p. : illus. ; 32 cm

Icon painting has reached its zenith in Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries. This art is appealing because of its great openness to other influences - the obedience to the rules of Orthodox Christianity in its early stages, the borrowing from Roman heritage or later to the Western breakthroughs - combined with a never compromised assertion of a distinctly Slavic soul and identity. This book presents a handpicked and representative selection of works from the 11th century to the late Baroque period.
