| Title | The Iconography of Medieval Passion Cycles in Spis and Gemer Counties |
| Summary | The thesis discusses the iconography of Christological cycles, which have Passion scenes in their focus, and which are painted in the chancels of medieval churches, located in Spiš and Gemer Counties of the Kingdom of Hungary (today Slovakia) between the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century. The examined decorations are in the churches of Žehra, Stará Ľubovňa, Podolínec, and Slatvina from Spiš, and in Štítnik, Kocel’ovce, Ochtiná and Plešivec from Gemer. The aim of the research is to analyze the iconographic program of the wall paintings in the above-mentioned churches, to identify the focus of the iconographical program, moreover, to study the scenes individually to see what influence can be traced in each scene and in the narrative program of the chancel as a whole. Furthermore, the study intends to reveal the sources of these influences, which are found through the comparative iconographical analysis, by considering the impact of the popular religious, contemplative, and devotional writings and religious practices. |
