| Résumé : |
This publication introduces Armenian scholarship on the tenth century church of the Holy Cross (Surp Khach) on the island of Aghtamar in lake Van, Turkey. This church, which occupies a special place in medieval Armenian art and architecture, was recently salvaged from the ravages of time and man to claim its rightful place in Turkey's rich and varied cultural heritage. The core of our discussion is provided by Stepan Mnatsakanian, whose work presents the church within a broader discussion of medieval Armenian architecture.
His work draws on a variety of sources, most notably Tovma Ardzruni (cir. 1000) and Tovma Continuatus (fourteenth century), 1. A. Orbeli (cir. 1912) and E. Lalayan (cir. 1910-16), as well as H. F. B. Lynch, W. Bachman, I. Strzygowski, Sirarpie Der Nersessian, Lydia Durnovo, and M. Åž. Ä°pÅŸiroÄŸlu. Mnatsakanian originally published his discussion in Armenian (1983) and his work was later translated, edited and published in English (1986). It is now translated from English into Turkish.
Alongside Mnatsakanian, we have included a set of architectural drawings from Documenti on Armenian Architecture - Aght’amar (Milano-. Edizioni Ares, 1974) which provide an invaluable guide to the complex of reliefs that depict biblical and secular themes carved onto the facades of the church of the Holy Cross. These architectural drawings allow us to readily see the sculptural narrative that is the unique feature of the church.
Since the preparation of Mnatsakanian's work, some of the reliefs on the church have been damaged, such as the cross held by the two angels on the west facade, and many khachkars have been moved, damaged or lost.
The photographs at the end of this book were taken in the summer of 2010 and reflect the current state of the church (Introduction). |
