Summary
A detailed analysis of the Amnos composition in the murals of Gelati Monastery's northwest chapel reveals unique iconographic features characteristic of the period under the prelateship of Zakaria Kvariani (1637-1660). The study, conducted by Ana Jikia, a doctoral student at Tbilisi State University, focuses on the monumental painting of this era, offering insights into the artistic and religious practices of 17th-century Georgia. By examining the visual elements and symbolic representations within the chapel's murals, the research provides a nuanced understanding of the cultural and historical context of Gelati Monastery during this significant period.
