Paper

Paintings from Vejini Ascension Church

Mariam Ebanoidze_2020

Abstract

Abstract taken from the full text of the paper (PDF, page 86).

The thesis concerns mural paintings of Vejini Ascension Church. It has been stated in scientific literature that the paintings belong to the so called post- Byzantine era, namely 16th- 17th centuries. But these opinions bear the mark of generalization and Vejini mural paintings haven’t been thoroughly researched before. We tried to study the paintings in terms of art studies and, in different aspects, we compared them to the painting pieces from both 16th and 17th centuries. As a result, we idenified the similarities and differences between them. Researching the paintings within the frame of art studies, including the iconography of certain depictions and the painting program, as well as graphic and stylistic analyses, indicated that mural paintings from Vejini Ascension Church must have been created in the 17th century.

About Project

At present, “The Database of Academic Writings” is aimed at systematizing scientific legacy within art history and theory and related academic disciplines, such as: arts management and administration, culture studies, culture/arts sociology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, etc.; it promotes scientific achievements of the national researchers in Georgia and beyond. In the long run the platform serves to ensure proper intellectual development on the national level. Writings represent intellectual property of individual researchers developed in partnership with research and educational institutions.

Therefore, platform collects Master and PhD theses, monographs and other types of academic writings developed in partnership with research institutions; also, articles published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.

The Project is the extension of „Contemporary Art Archive – Tbilisi“ and is supported by International Education Center Alumni Association.

The archive was restored in 2026. Abstracts and full texts are being added gradually.
