| Summary: | Monumental ecclesiastical painting is often perceived either as an interior decoration of the temple or as a "Gospel for the illiterate", since temple painting often contains scenes from the Holy Scriptures. In science, the painting program of the Orthodox church is mainly the subject of study by art historians, while from the point of view of cultural studies and semiotics, it is not sufficiently studied. The function of monumental church painting as an image of the Eastern Christian picture of the world is insufficiently revealed; this article is dedicated to this issue. The purpose of the article is to consider the painting program of the Orthodox church from the point of view of semiotics (cultural codes), to show how it reveals the Eastern Christian picture of the world. |
