xv century portrait characteristics are some individual features. and, of course, icon painters in the 17th century sought to convey some spiritual movements, to convey some poignant everyday situations. this is what really distinguishes the belarusian icon and makes it recognizable, of course, the most significant icons of this period and related to this version of the belarusian icon painting are presented in our exposition. this is the nativity of the mother of god, you are commissioned by peter and all of her through the voices of 1649. these are the icons of malorita so called or brest as it is now, maybe we will rather say the masters, many of which date back to the middle of the 17th century. exactly. here they are just full of everyday details, details of narrative plots that were typical for this time. here we are already talking about national traits, and the outlines of which show the handmaids. nativity of the mother of god about

, uh, a baby's stroller, but these are the belts of which babies were transplanted in their time, that is, a person who is especially well acquainted with life and the ethnography of this time. he just finds those, recognizable e, rare details of the objects of that time, characteristic of that time, not preserved, not preserved at all, and we only see them on the works of painting, as they were, and from them we can already recreate the life of that period, the everyday life of the history of everyday life such there is a term, yes cultural, which is now important for us in the restoration of palaces and manor houses and some household complexes. uh, here, this is an encyclopedia of life of that time that is priceless for heritage. is a belarusian icon of the 17th century, an icon of the assumption of the 17th century, characterizes such that

is, the mogilev region, as the desire for ornamentation, the desire for ornamentation, when christ was crucified, uh, the pogamater lived in jerusalem under the protection under the patronage of her beloved disciple. christ john the theologian and when i come to her the time comes to move from earthly life to life. the archangel gabriel appears to her eternally and announces this in the message, but before her death, the mother of god wished to say goodbye to the disciples of her son and they all miraculously gather around the bed with the body christ himself appears to the mother of god here, who takes the soul of mary into his own hands here on the icon. as you can see, the soul of the mother of god is depicted in the form of a spilion baby. why is it considered that she was as pure and innocent as the soul of a newborn child and here, of course, we need to talk about the influence of western european stylistics already about the influence of baroque art, when the artist seeks to show the depth of the illusory nature of the architecture being built. the landscape, that

is, of course, is very well read. here these are the stylistic features of the work of the xvii century in the existing temples. belarus has survived very little. i must say they were generally preserved from that time a little we know. how many of them were according to archival data on inventories and how few of them survived, if you say the correction of our museum, no more than 150. this, probably, is not even one, but zero one percent of what, in principle, was created on belarusian lands is extremely small , we have monuments compared, for example, with the same ukraine or russia icons of the 17th century, in principle, here, as well as on the icons of the 18th century, icon painters studied certain tasks. what task did the icon perform or be in the

iconostasis system? or she was called to stand separately on pillars or on the wall of the temple and, of course. uh, if this is an iconostasis, then icons, that is, the iconostasis consists of several several rows, a local row is a must. uh, the image of the savior and the pagomother. and here we see with you individual faces and the virgin mary of jesus christ in a festive row. here it turns out. we have plot icons go. yes, these are scenes from the life of the virgin mary jesus christ, the complex of the shersher iconostasis. this is a unique collection. in our museum, this conostasis was taken out by a scientific expedition of museums in 1963. the place, shirsha. known for a long time, it belonged to the queen of bon kurs, it was in the possession of the polish king sigismund ii and before that, they owned, ilinichi, from the connection associated with the magnate e with the worldly castle, primarily for the berezenska and

so on, and the place flourished until about 17- 18 centuries, so far. uh, the little sheryshev church didn't. he is so already more modest in scale. but the fact that the iconostasis of such a high level of professionalism has been preserved there. he says that the patrons of that time paid great attention to this temple, because a highly professional master ordered such a painting. highlight gilding silver plating. all this required a lot of money. if we are talking about the material component. well, you can count to put it mildly, yes, boards, uh, on the territory of belarus, this linden is most often used the material that is somewhere next to roses, yes, on the territory of cypresses we weren't there, yes, and that's why linden is a very soft tree, both pine and spruce are good to use. levkaz is chalk and glue. and, of course,

gold was quite expensive. in used gold leaf and crafted gold. here, but social gold is the thinnest sheets, if i'm not mistaken, there is a thickness of 100 meters, it's very much like a hair of a leaf. they were already pasted on the grouted boards, but the pigments, colorful ones, were very expensive. that is, these are the substances that give us color were pigments that were made from semi-precious stones. such as malachite lapis lazuli were imported pigments. and, of course , they were quite expensive, and let 's just say to use such pigments to buy such pigments for an icon, well, a rather wealthy person, that is, a person who funded the means of writing an icon from such materials, should have been fairly well provided for, literally by a miracle , this complex survived and was preserved with us,

because soon the church was soon dismantled. after the iconostasis hit the museum , moscow specialists began to work with it strengthened the painting cleared it. there were both silver and gilding, a very complex technique. and the fact that several masters worked here 3-4 masters. this was established by our specialists, who carefully studied the painting style, the coloristic style, the technique, the technological research, and the holidays were also held. here they are shown exactly according to the menaias according to the calendar cycle, and not in the way it was traditionally shown in such a narrative passing movement of events. this is a rare case for belarusian and the red rows of the festive rank at the exhibition we also wanted to show what place in the temple this or that icon can occupy, and this small complex of icons, and reconstructs the

local row of the iconostasis, according to tradition, the royal doors are placed in the center of the local row. why they are called royal symbolic entrance to paradise, it is believed that the king of glory jesus christ passes through them on the holy mountains and , as the icons were painted according to the canon, the image on the royal gates is also. they have also always been strictly canonical, who is always depicted in the lower four terminals is given image of the four evangelists. mark matthew of the bow, and john sometimes instead of the evangelists or together with them, their symbols are depicted. matvey - this is an angel or a person speaking, so when he wrote the gospel, the angel mark himself whispered to him, this is the lion of the strength and power of the bow, this is the taurus a sacrificial animal and john is the eagle bird. youth is the flight of the aspiration of the soul, sometimes the symbols of the evangelists attributed man to christ himself, since in the humanized lion defeated all his enemies taurus

sacrificed himself in the name of people and the imperishable bird ascended to heaven to the left and to the right of the royal gates, the image of the mother of god of their christ the mother of god, hodegetria and christ almighty is always placed, and very often on the royal gates, and the image of the savior not made by hands is placed. this is one of the earliest iconographic types. eh, in the image of jesus christ, we are trying, as it were, to recreate the location of the icon, their order, as they were once in the iconostasis. still. it is an unshakable system that is to be avoided. uh, any exhibit builder fails to save with one side. the mother of god, on the other hand, the apostles are always the image of the almighty savior, uh, the mother of god, as a rule, side by side with the zhitins with festive scenes and so on, that is, the images of the stolins are images of the holy

apostles of this particular region. i consider it very worthy to be represented by works from a small church in a leather townhouse, if in brest works graphic ee, light-facedness prevails. uh, such clearer outlines with a dark contour of the face above the eyebrows under the eyes of the noses, then here on the table, nothing is softer than such a smooth painting, but it is really done with melts. this is such a very liquid, paint, tempera, and sometimes even oily, which covers the imperial layers in belarusian icon painting, mixed media painting techniques are very often used. and here we see the volume e. here we see completely different faces , softer, more spiritual and filled with such a special characteristic. they are alive every

character in the depiction of the apostles. iskazhan gorodok is distinguished by its individuality and originality. it's not only age differences. it is precisely this mood, the state of the intellect, the attitude to what is happening that two icons and the resurrection of the descent into hell demonstrate such a phenomenon in belarusian icon painting as the parallel existence of iconographic schemes borrowed from both eastern and western european iconography. and here in the plot of sunday is the descent into hell. this is a very bright and very interesting manifestation of the first monument. uh, sunday descent into hell. he comes from uh, lahla, the stolin region, and he is just the same character. that's it byzantine iconography. e that we remember christ and having lowered the spirit descends into hell, just as by his death on the cross, and he atones for original human sin and

the first one, or rather, the first one that christ brings out of hell were adam and eve, and here it is shown on the icon. uh, christ a shining mandor or a two-tone blue-blue stands on the defeated gates of hell and look how the iconography depicts these defeated gates, chains of locks, then how he imagined it to himself and christ holds hands, that is, he brings adam and eve out of hell here the same are depicted righteous old testament prophets. that is, this is how the resurrection was depicted in orthodox iconography. yes, in the byzantine old russian , western european painting there interpreted this plot in a slightly different way. the resurrection of christ remained its historical interpretation, like the rise from the tomb, and here is the second monument that comes from the pinsk region. he illustrates very well. it is precisely this phenomenon in the center of the icon on

the lid of the coffin that depicts the resurrected christ a in a shining mandorra in robes with the ensign of the resurrection in his hand to the left and right of him two genre scenes of the appearance of an angel are introduced, to the myrrh-bearing women and an angel who supports the lid of the coffin, but it would not be a belarusian icon if it did not combine these traditions of the west and the east. look according to the western european tradition, christ is represented on the lid of the coffin, but eastern tradition. we already have christ, we do not place him here, on the fallen gates. hell is depicted by the archangel michael killing the devil or the devil, again, according to tradition, left and right, and there is eve, that is. here she is belarusian icon. not to the west showed the east and everything on one icon surface. this is extremely rare. i would say a completely unique phenomenon of the belarusian icon painting of the iconostasis of the zhirovichi monastery of the

assumption cathedral. eh, the crane monastery was built, like the unian monastery, at the beginning of the 17th century and at the end of this century, according to the latest research of our art historians. e was, built, a multi-tiered iconostasis and icons were painted for it, by an unknown to us, unfortunately, master, but these are icons that testify, and such a culmination development of e, belarusian painting. e of this centenary the centuries that we speak of in this exhibition are images. i would say renaissance forces. powerful, extremely highly spiritualized in this case, this is a complete illustration of the plot

. usually these are shepherds who discovered the image of the mother of god. in this case, these are the images of bishops, perfectly corresponding to the apostles who surround this wonderful central work. in the second half of the xix century. the crane monastery became orthodox and the backgrounds were closed, with solid gilding, only the figures of the apostles remained. e, in 2009 with the blessing of metropolitan philaret. fucked up memory these works were transferred to our museum. the restorers saw what was under the golden background. i am a completely different author's layer. they opened these backgrounds and the apostles found themselves in their native say, framing, that is, in that situation on those backgrounds in that landscape, as they were once

conceived, unknown in the master, and they received their full organic embodiment. these are practically barren creatures. how do the apostles appear in most icons of iconostases. these are absolutely living active ascetics. these are the people who carried the word of christ to the whole world, who convinced the orthodox faith of all people and with great success to them. it worked. this is an extremely rare case of the belarusian press icon such a high combination of achievements of european artistic culture. and here is this local understanding. non-interpretations of the types of saints on the icon were strengthened by our restorers, as i said cleared. these complex works were carried out under the guidance of. e. arkady sonolovich of the tongue of our restorer of the highest

qualification. we are all extremely grateful to them for the revival to a new life of these works and certainly. they became the decoration of our exhibition, the quintessence of the entire exposition. and so, as it were, final a stage that, on a high spiritual uplift, allows the viewer to appreciate this age of the golden age, belarusian writing.

did you know that the expedition you can go from recipes, yes, not sounds, and i'm kim for more than 100 years. say we were ready chicken, then chicken broth with dumplings a teaspoon, for life. we add no, no all day long and add another teaspoon. mm. well, let's say the ultaisa recipe is appropriate. she is at the studio of the belarusian cuisine program, their story is stretched dough with you and me today it will be completely unusual. it seems to me that but those who prepare it will also like it, right? and those who will try it take flour. by the way, i salted and added sugar here a little new
