Aspecte religioase şi politice în portretele voievodului Mircea cel Bătrân
Religious and political aspects in the portraits of the voivode Mircea cel Bătrân

Summary/Abstract: The intention of this text is to emphasize the presence of the historical-political element on the walls of churches painted with icons, as well as the links that exist between the historical context and the religious image. The images can bring information about both political and family history and last but not least about the founding gesture of the voivode. We will try to analyze from a historical and iconographic point of view some portraits of Mircea cel Bătrân, the ruler of Wallachia. In this sense, the portraits of the ruler, those from the Cozia Monastery, from the Episcopal Church from Argeş, the Brădet hermitage and the Church from Cotmeana will be analyzed.
