Icoana pe sticlă din Ţara Făgăraşului şi sursele de inspiraţie. Evangheliile şi legendele apocrife

  • Subiect: „This study presents two sources of inspiration used by the talented icon painters of the Făgăraş area: The Gospels and the apocryphal legends. Many of the iconographic scenes appearing in the glass icons would remain ununderstood without the lecture of the apocryphal texts because the canonic Gospels include summary information about the Virgin and Jesus' life. The icons presenting Entrance of the Birthgiver of God in the Temple, Jesus' Birth and The Resurrection acquire new dimensions, emphasized in the texts of the Proto-gospel of Jacob or the Nicodim's Gospel. The glass icon painters from Făgăraş Country painted, without any exception, these subjects. Ioan Pop painted an icon Joachim's Sadness, piece unique in the glass painting in Transylvania, the source being found in the first chapter of the Proto-gospel of Jacob. The apocryphal legends concerning the New Testament, especially the Virgin's Travel in Hell, gave birth to some interesting iconographic themes: The Works of the Hell and The Customs of the Sky. A few decades later, other two glass painters would take these themes again: Petru Tămaş, the father, and Ioan Matei Purcariu, the son of Matei Ţâmforea.”
