Gračanica - zapažanja o arhitektonskim pojedinostima crkve
Gračanica - architectural structure and its meaning
Abstract
У раду се излажу ближа објашњења појединости просторне
структуре и начина зидања односно обраде фасада грачаничке цркве. Указује
се на симболичко значење мотива у опеци који су изведени око прозора наоса.
The uniqueness of the architecture of the catholicon of Gračanica Monastery is
recognized in historiography a long time ago, primarily in two components: in the specific solution of its interior, as well as in the pyramidal articulation of its basic masses,
which makes this church the monument with no proper parallels in the architecture of
the Byzantine World. This paper is aimed at envisioning of the differences in spatial
concepts between Gračanica and other contemporaneous buildings. Likewise, the attention is aimed at the uniform symmetrical motifs made of bricks and placed within
the fields above the church windows. The overall dichromatic of stone and bricks was
achieved not only according to the Aristotelian attitude towards the relation between
the decoration and the size of the building, but also in accordance to how other objects
of Byzantine art were achieved, such as painted reliefs, reliquaries, ivory, etc. Also, the
strigillated brick decoration placed around th...e windows as the transitional zone of
radiation of the God`s light, in coordination with the uniquely composed dynamics
of the church`s superstructure, gives the reason to recognize the attempt of the master-builder of Gračanica to materialize the reflections of esthetic axioms and the order
of Christian Universe, as expressed in the writings of Pseudo-Dionysus the Areopagite,
by clearly hierarchized space.
