- Title
DOMINICAN PREACHING AND TEACHING IN A SET OF EMBLEMS IN THE CEILING PAINTINGS OF PASIENE CHURCH.
- Authors
Sparitis, Ojars
- Abstract
The article analyses the cycle of the emblems painted on the vaulted ceiling of the Pasiene (Latgale) Dominican Church with the fresco secco technique. This cycle is hypothetically dated back to the 8th - 9th decades of the 18th century and ascribed to the authorship of the Italian painter Philippo Castaldi. The conceptually grounded sermon that is depicted in these twenty emblems is integrated into the central nave. In the language of the images, the truths of the faith and the necessity for moral strength were expressed, as was devotion for the parish, biblical symbols and didactic allegories. The painter referred to the examples of the emblems printed in books of the 16th -17th centuries, mostly C. Ripa's "Iconology" and its additional editions that appeared in Germany in the 18th century.
