Мястото на стенописите от църквата „Св. Димитър“ в с. Паталеница, Пазарджишко, в историята на средновековната балканска живопис
The Place of the Mural Paintings in the “St. Dimiter” Church in the Village of Patalenitsa, near Pazardžik, in the History of Medieval Balkan Painting

Summary/Abstract: The wall-paintings in the “St. Dimiter” Church in the village of Patalenitsa, near Pazardžik, not far from the medieval fortress of Batkunion, were revealed in part some 25 years ago. So far they have been dated within the range from the late 11th с. to the very beginning of the 13th с. In the detailed study of Liljana Mavrodinova on the basis of iconographic, stylistic and logical analysis of the painting have been drawn parallels of the first half of the 13th с. in small churches outside the principal artistic centres: the rock chapels in Penteli, Kalivia Kouvara and Merenda in Athics. This makes possible the predating of the monument to the first 3 decades of the 13th с. and linking it to an unofficial, “peripheral” tendency in painting, attested during the years of Latin domination of the region.
