Depicting Orthodoxy in Rus

In Novgorod the early twelfth-century fresco decoration of the Novgorod Sophia Cathedral served as prototype. The surviving fragments show that the wall-paintings followed the main structure of the Kyiv mosaics which, as demonstrated earlier, bear witness to the making of a new Orthodox identity after the Schism of 1054. This chapter investigates how this emerging new Orthodox identity was visualized in the subsequent centuries prior to the appearance of the Novgorod Sophia icon. The first part analyses church decoration and the second icon-painting, thus seeking to explore the direct iconographic roots of the Wisdom icon.
