Ikonostas z XVII wieku w cerkwi św. Jana Teologa w Nowoberezowie – odkrycie zespołu Katalogu Zabytków Sztuki w Polsce
A 17th-Century Iconostasis in the Orthodox Church of St John the Theologian in Nowoberezowo. A Discovery by the Catalogue of the Monuments of Art in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the large sections of a 17th-century iconostasis hitherto unknown to scholars and the conservation services, which have been discovered in the attic of the filial Orthodox church of St John the Theologian in Nowoberezowo (Hajnówka district). It is the earliest extant iconostasis in the Podlachia region and most probably one of the oldest in the lands of the former Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania. Its discovery was made during in- ventorying procedures carried out by the Catalogue of the Monuments of Art in Poland. An analysis of the records of church visitations from the years 1727, 1759 and 1784 has made it possible to trace the transformations in the structure of the iconostasis in the course of the 18th century and to propose its conjectural reconstructions in the condition it had in the early 18th century and after 1771.
