In a milieu laden with all forms of discontinuity, a little over four decades of existence of an institution
is unquestionably a cause worthy of noting. By publishing this volume the Institute for Art History of the
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, honors its tradition and remains true to the esteem attained
in the long years of its presence and activities in the professional and academic field.
As the editor of the volume hereby presented to the reader, I face, in a manner of speaking, an awkward
situation. In order to put together, as objectively as possible, these words of introduction, I had to step back
and assess from a distance the progress of an institution in which I myself have completed one of my own
professional cycles, from the first steps as a researcher to the position of director. Therefore, I take the
liberty to disregard the lure of official jubilee fanfare but, rather, to raise the question whether the Institute
for Art History has, indeed, fulfilled the purpose envisaged in 1968 by its founders whose work, to this day,
remains the basis of art historical scholarship in Serbia.
The number and nature of volumes published over the course of the past four decades are definitely an
indicator of the scope and achievement of any academic institution. Still, we can ask whether they are the
sole parameter of appraisal or whether it is actually the conceptual-methodological base, which remains at
the core of its pertaining results, that is the true warrant of the Institutes persistence?
Shortly after its founding, the Institute for Art History defined the main directions of its activity, balanced
equally between field exploration, documenting of monuments, critical analysis of written sources, research
directed toward syntheses on given problems of art history, production of encyclopedic dictionaries and
bibliographies as well as publication of its own periodical. Projects such as Relation between Serbian and
Byzantine Art in the Middle Ages, Europe and Serbian Art of the XVIII and XIX Centuries, Islamic
Monumental Art XVXVIII Century on the Soil of Yugoslavia or Serbian Art in XX Century were the
framework of intense activity for almost two decades, precisely at the time academician Vojislav Kora was
the director of the Institute. Although their titles included the then omnipresent term of national, they were
essentially, axiomatically, interdisciplinary in approaching the subject of their investigation and expressed
an unquestionable awareness of the fact that Serbian art of any given period can be appropriately studied
solely as an entity stemming from its indigenous temporal and spatial dimension, i.e. from the process of
communication with both the East and the West, the two worlds on the frontiers of which it flourished. Accordingly, it comes as no surprise that the Institute for Art History quickly became the center of research of
phenomena the scope of which ranged far outside the strict limits of artistic creation among the Serbs. It,
thus, opened its doors to a large number of scholars who came from all corners of the world. Nurtured and
constantly enhanced, it was precisely this hospitable and open nature of the institution, in a higher sense of
the word, that kept its firm foundations untouched by pressures exerted from both within and without during
the challenging years of the close of the century past. This institution reached more peaceful times guided
by its own tradition and strength, sustained by the Department of Art History of the Faculty of Philosophy
and supported by a large number of colleagues and friends from abroad.
Almost thirty books in the form of monographs, published documentary material and studies on various
subject of art history, as well as thirty five volumes of Zograf, the journal of medieval art, with texts of
over one hundred international scholars and local researchers; funds of technical and photo-documenta-

xxi

tion, unique in scope, on monuments from Serbia, the territory of ex-Yugoslavia and the Balkans, bibliographies and a substantial library, are present assets of the Institute for Art History of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. Those facts, it seems, speak for themselves and offer realistic ground for conviction that,
as a result of cooperation between experienced scholars and those entering the field, this institution will
be successful in overcoming the challenges facing humanistic disciplines in these years of global crisis. In
their own way, the pages hereby presented to the reader sustain the same persuasion.
I extend expressions of deepest gratitude to all the authors, not only for their contributions but also for
the patience and support I received from their part during the making of this book. I am also deeply indebted to the exceptional team which shared with me the pleasant task of preparing this volume.
Sadly, the passing of time has kept this small antidoron from being delivered into the hands of one of the
founders and the first director of the Institute for Art History, Vojislav Kora.

THE ESPHIGMENOU CHRYSOBULL OF DESPOT DJURADJ BRANKOVI:

FANTASTIC ARCHITECTURE, IA, ESPHIGMENOU

OR THE CELESTIAL DWELLINGS?
Branislav Cvetkovi
The Esphigmenou charter with miniature portraits of
the family of despot Djuradj Brankovi has often been
a matter of scholarly attention. Its structure is essentially different from the rest of extant Byzantine charters with portraits in that it comprises all members of
the ruling family standing in front of the lavish architecture painted against golden background. At the
lower part of the miniature the intercolumniations are
set behind figures of two princes Stefan and Lazar and
of their sister princess Kantakuzina, while at the upper
part there are portraits of despot Djuradj Brankovi,
his wife Irina, of prince Grgur and princess Mara.
The meaning of the architecture behind the figures of
the Brankovi has never been established with certainty as it was mainly referred to as being symbolic
or fantastic or as possible reflection of the ia monastery, the place of the charters issue. The portraits
of the Brankovi are seen as the political propaganda.
High architectural structures in the charters upper

364

part have been described as kiosks, ciborium, rotunda, or church, while its lower part as wall made up of
six windows or seven columns. Due to damage of the
miniature over time a reconstruction of the charter has
been made in order to make its study easier. Therefore, a number of new details have been spotted.
The author argues the idea that lay behind a complex
representation must have been that of the Heavenly
Court. The proof may be found both in the painted
architecture and in the lavish costumes of figures. The
garment symbolism is built on the well known sources
from the Scriptures, hymnography and patristic writings, as well as in theological background of the Ascension of Christ, the dedication both of ia and the
Esphigmenou monastery implying Christs promise of
the heavenly abodes for the righteous. The Brankovi
are shown dressed in the robes of light ready to enter
celestial dwellings as their heavenly prize for having
become ktetors of the Esphigmenou monastery.

In a milieu laden with all forms of discontinuity, four decades of existence of an institution is
unquestionably a cause worthy of noting. By publishing this volume the Institute for Art History of the
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, honors its tradition and remains true to the esteem attained
in the long years of its presence and activities in the professional and academic field. The texts published
in this collection of papers represent a significant contribution to scholarly study of subjects ranging from
the art and culture of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages to those of modern and contemporary times.
Each in its own right, unquestionably, enhances and broadens the conceptual scope of perceiving artistic
production and visual culture within both the framework of analysis of visual utterance and that of the
world of ideas and ideologies of the ambience of its making.
