Abstract

Rad se bavi carskim utjecajima na razvoj kršćanske umjetnosti. U razdoblju kasne antike, koji je dugo vremena smatran periodom dekadencije, razvila se prva kršćanska umjetnost pod utjecajem carske ikonografije. Period kasne antike obilježilo je stasanje kršćanstva od punopravne do službene religije Carstva te uspostava novog glavnog grada Konstantinopola. André Grabar i začetnici teorije „carske mistike“ ukazali su na korištenje carske ikonografije u svrhu iskazivanja ideja kršćanskog učenja. Rad je sadržajno podijeljen u tri cjeline u kojima se govori o društvenim, vjerskim i političkim promjenama u razdoblju kasne antike koje su neminovno utjecale na umjetnički izričaj, zatim o teoriji „carske mistike“, njenim začecima i autorima, te, naposljetku, o likovnom izričaju u 4. stoljeću. U radu je analizirana carska portretistika od vladavine Dioklecijana do raspada Carstva, međusobni utjecaji javne i zagrobne skulpture poput Konstantinovog slavoluka i sarkofaga Junija Basa te prvi monumentalni prikazi Krista.

Abstract (english)

Subject of this paper is the impact of the imperial art on the development of Christian art. During late antiquity, which was considered a period of decadance for a long time, a first Christian art developed under the influence of imperial iconography. The period of late antiquity was marked with the affirmation of Christianity as an official religion of the Empire and the establishment of the new capital of Constantinople. André Grabar and other advocates of the theory of "emperor mystique" have pointed out the use of emperor iconography for the purpose of expressing the idea of Christian teaching. The paper is subdivided into three chapters that discuss social, religious and political changes in the late antiquity, the theory of "emperor mystique", its origins and authors, and ultimately the art of the 4th century. The paper analyzes the imperial portraiture from the reign of Diocletian to the Fall of the Empire, impact of triumphal and funerary sculpture, such as the Arch of Constantine and the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus, and finally the first monumental depictions of Christ.
