The Image of God’s Eternity. Some Remarks on the ANCIENT OF DAYS in Post-Byzantine Painting

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines a group of images of the Ancient of Days that were painted in several Balkan churches during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The peculiarity of these images comes from the combination of the image and the unusual for it inscription “Sabaoth”. The author offers an interpretation of this combination, regarding it as a result of the liturgical basis of the image where the new epithet emphasises God's almighty power and eternity.
