Aspecte religioase şi politice în portretele domnitorului Ştefan cel Mare şi ale familiei sale (frescă, miniatură şi broderie)
Religious and political issues in the portraits of Stephen the Great and his family (frescoes, miniatures and embroidery)

Summary/Abstract: This study examines some of the portraits of Stephen the Great, found in votive frescoes painted on churches and in miniatures and embroideries. We will show that the images of the voivode highlights his political importance, his greatness and his personal pride, but also his religious attitude. All this can be read not only in the annals and the chronicles of those times, but also in the frescoes, miniatures and embroideries of the era, which are accurate documents, bearing a strong imprint of religious and political affairs of the Moldavian society of that time. Portraits of the founders are also the first free and original Romanian artistic events of the local painters. Certainly the manner in which they have painted the founders is similar to frescoes and icons, but they have not forgotten to pictorially convey the uniqueness of each one.
