A propos de l’influence de la peinture crétoise sur la gravure serbe du 16e siècle
Main Article Content
Abstract
As contemporary Serbian scholars have already noted, most of
the engravings illustrating books printed by Serbians in Venice during
the 16th century follow Cretan models of the 15th and early 16th centuries.
The author of this article cites and discusses more such examples,
namely the Nativity of the Virgin in the menaeon printed by Božidar
Vukovič in 1538, the Hospitality of Abraham in the prayer book printed
by his son Vincenzo Vukovič in 1560, and, finally, the Raising of
Lazarus, the Entry into Jerusalem, and the Holy Trinity illustrating
the prayer book printed in 1566 by James of Kamena Reka. Not only
icons, but also designs may have been used as models for the Serbian
engravings which follow Cretan prototypes.
