Два комплекта икони от 1616 и 1685 г. за иконостаса на църквата „Св. Георги“ във Велико Търново
Two Sets of 1616 and 1685 for the Iconostasis the St. George Church in Veliko Turnovo

Summary/Abstract: This is the first attempt to identify the icons which at different times made up the iconostasis of St. George Church in Veliko Turnovo. To the first iconostasis, dated about 1616 when the frescoes of the church were painted, are referred three icons of patron saints and frieze of the Apostles (Figs 1–4). About 1685, probably as the result of a reconstructon of the interior of St. George Church, was renovated the iconostasis and the icon were changed. The inscriptions and the dates indicated in two icons of patron saints originating from Veliko Turnovo have become the basis for the attribution of six icons of patron saints of this second iconostasis of the church (Figs 5–9). The udoubted identity of the style of these icons with another five festive icons which at present stand on the iconostasis of the Turnovo Church of the Assumption (Figs 10–14), offers a good possibility for the identification of a total of eleven icons that had adorned the iconostasis of St. George Church circa 1685.
