PERCULIAR GALICIAN AND VOLHYNIAN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE OF THE 12th-13th CENTURIES: COMPARATIVE ASPECT

O. Chuyko

Abstract


The paper considers the issue of stylistic, constructive and technological similarity of temples of the Galicia-Volhynia and Vladimir-Suzdal lands of the 12th-13th centuries. Based on a comparative analysis of construction equipment, structural basis and plastic decor from both territories, as well as recent archaeological research, we make conclusions about the same guild of artisans, natives of Galician Rus, who later worked in the northeastern lands of ancient Rus.

Based on the research of scholars of different generations, tracing their dispute over the priority of a particular architectural school in the introduction of a unique style of temple construction and architectural decor of the mid-twelfth century, the author attempts to prove the antecedence of the Galician architectural tradition, which absorbed not only the significant construction experience of Kyivan Rus, but also Western European stylistic trends, including features of the Romanesque style.

Key words: construction, carving, architectural decor, tradition, style, building, Romanesque style.
