Il libro ricostruisce la storia dell'iconografia armena dalla sua genesi alla fase del suo tramonto, seguendo le tracce delle ormai esigue testimonianze sopravvissute all'inesorabile legge e di una millenaria, ma sempre difficile e contorta, storia di conquiste e distruzioni. Il punto di partenza è stato il rinvenimento presso le fonti letterarie e documentarie medioevali e moderne di attestazioni comprovanti, in primo luogo, l'esistenza, spesso negata, nonché i caratteri della produzione artistica di soggetto sacro in Armenia. Fissati, in tal modo, i principali punti di riferimento sul piano storico-letterario, uno dei più delicati problemi della ricerca è consistita nel recupero del materiale fotografico. La maggiore difficoltà è stata qui collegata allo sparpagliamento delle testimonianze su di un territorio, quello dell'Armenia storica, ormai suddiviso tra numerosi Stati. A ciò si aggiunga il passato turbolento dell'Armenia, sottoposta di continuo a invasioni e persecuzioni che hanno non soltanto reso ardua la fioritura stessa dell'arte, che sempre per imporsi ha bisogno di ricollegarsi ad un periodo di pace e di prosperità, ma anche ridotto sensibilmente il numero delle immagini sopravvissute a un destino storico di continue distruzioni.
The solid lime wood boards, purchased by me online from the well-stocked Dal Molin Carpentry, to carry out carving work, have an excellent quality/price ratio and are available in a vast number of formats... The packaging of the products sent was also very careful and received with very punctual delivery. Compliments!

I ordered several wooden boards to paint icons. Upon delivery, half of them showed scratches on the surface to be painted or saw marks on the side. The wooden boards are made without the care necessary for the production of works of art. Dal Molin has not had any hearing for my request for replacement of the unusable art supply nor for a refund saying that "these details have no importance". I do not recommend this business.

A company that is worth a visit for the wonderful and wide range of basic materials from shaped wooden boards, chalked, tools and colors: everything you need to create icons or pyrographic works. They have wonderful painted icons, books and also organize courses on the subject. Courteous, competent staff, generous with information and suggestions. Worth a visit.
