In the art of the Christian East, the depictions of the martyrdom of Saint
Ignatius Theophorus, bishop of Antioch, can usually be found among the
illustrations of the Menologion. The scene from the monastery of Novo Hopovo,
dated to the 1600s, is one of the rare independent depictions of Saint
Ignatius’s martyrdom. The paper discusses the iconography of this scene and
possible reasons for placing it in the prothesis of the katholikon of Novo
Hopovo. The inclusion of a scene showing the martyrdom of the bishop of
Antioch into the thematic repertoire of this compartment is a solitary
example in Serbian medieval and Byzantine monumental painting.
