Types of Wood Used in Carpathian Icons
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The Carpathian icons constitute a group of works of sacral art which occur both in south-eastern Poland and in Slovakia, Rumania and Ukraine. They are painted primarily on a wooden base. Owing to the fact that there are no detailed studies on the subject of the used types of wood, the authors examined thirty nine precisely dated icons executed on coniferous wood as well as few examples on leafy wood. Thirty icons were painted on fir, five on spruce, and four on a pine foundation. These icons are to be found in museum collections in southern Poland — the National Museum in Krakow (the Szolayski House Department), the National Museum of the Przemyśl Region in Przemyśl, the Regional Museum in Nowy Sącz and the Castle Museum in Łańcut. The oldest object is dated 1621 and the newest — 1902. A chronological comparison of results presented in a table makes it possible to observe the absence of differences between types of wood employed in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The outcome of research distinctly suggests the universal usage of fir. This finding confirms the initial assumption that the artists employed easiest accessible material from the local forests. The authors also analysed methods of preparing boards: the most frequently used was an intermediate type, between the osculating and radial varieties which includes an arrangement of rings both osculating and radial; such boards are preserved in a relatively good state.
