Vestimentaţia liturgică iconografică din Ţările Române din secolul al XIV-lea: context vestimentar şi interferenţe culturale
The iconographic liturgical attire in the Romanian Countries in the 14th century: clothing context and cultural interferences

Summary/Abstract: The hierarchical type of clothing in the mural paintings of the Romanian Orthodox churches in the14th century is presented as a new discourse both in the research of the idea of unity of the Romanian Orthodox space in a period when this idea was not officially stated, as well as for the importance in itself of the hierarchical attire that, so far, historiography have not studied more closely. The present study envisages the establishment of cultural interconnections both between Wallachia and Transylvania and between them and the areas of eastern and western artistic influence, in order to identify the transfer of vestments patterns from one area of culture to another, the extent to which they were adapted to the area of “adoption” and last but not least, the interest that determined the implementation of several hierarchs figures in the mural theme of some of the churches. Again, the research aims to capture those models of hierarchs that, despite their clerical rank, are depicted in garments of different composition depending on the context in which they are painted.
