/mtd-gr-23-m.jpg "The Evangelist is depicted in accordance with the conventional scheme adopted at the scriptoria of Siunik against a wall which separates the figure from the buildings seen in the background. The buildings, although schematically treated, resemble actually existing structures. The same applies to the chair on which the Evangelist is seated: similar wooden chairs are still in use in Armenian villages.�Evangelisten är avbildad i enlighet med konventionella riktlinjer antagna vid Siuniks skriptorium mot en vägg som separerar figurerna från byggnaderna som syns i bakgrunden. Byggnaderna, trots det schematiska behandlingen, påminner faktiskt om verkliga strukturer. Det samma gäller stolen på vilken evangelisten sitter: liknande trästolar finns fortfarande i armeniska byar.")

/mtd-gr-06-m.jpg "Illustrations to the vision stories first appeared in Armenian miniature painting towards the end of the thirteenth century and later became a traditional part of the Gospel cycle. In their treatment of these subjects the artists, although mainly relying upon the iconographic canon, sometimes offered their own interpretation. The artist imitated the models which were in wide use at the time in Armenian book illumination.�Illustrationer av visionberättelser dyker först upp i den armeniska miniatyrmålningen vid slutet av 1200-talet och blev senare en traditionell del av Evangelium-cykel. I sin behandling av dessa ämnen, trots huvudsaklig beroende av de ikonografiska kanonen, erbjöd konstnärerna ibland sina egna tolkningar. Konstnären imiterade modellerna som vid denna tid användes i omfattande utsträckning i armenisk bokmålning.")

The architectural background of the scene contributes to the effect of spatial depth created by the composition.�Evangelisten presenteras i en fri och naturlig attityd; hans rörelser visar självtillit och lugn, ansiktet är subtilt modellerat genom delikata skuggor.

/mtd-gr-30-m.jpg "The miniature represents a rare iconographic version based on apocryphal sources - The Annunciation at the Well. The Virgin is shown as a young peasant woman wearing a bright-coloured dress. With the water jug upon her shoulders, she stares at the archangel in genuine surprise at this sudden appearance. The light and cheerful colouring combines with the gay floral ornamentation in imparting a joyful atmosphere to the scene.�Miniatyren representerar en sällsynt ikonografisk version baserd på apokryfiska källor - Bebådelsen vid brunnen. Jungfrun visas som en ung bondekvinna iklädd en ljusfärgad klänning. Med en vattenkanna på sina axlar, stirrar hon på ärkeängeln med en riktig förvåning för hans plötsiga uppenbarelse. Ljuset och den glada färgsättningen kombinerar med den glada blommiga utsmyckningen i återgivningen av en fröjdfull atmosfär i scenen.")

/mtd-gr-36-m.jpg "The miniatures in the manuscript betray the influence of Cilician art embracing both iconography and technique. The ample use of gold is also a distinctly Cilician feature. Certain characteristics, however, rule out the possibility of attributing the manuscript to a Cilician master. Such is, for example, the free and sweeping manner of painting resulting in a somewhat generalized treatment of forms, typical of the north-east of historical Armenia.�Miniatyrerna i manuskriptet avslöjar inflytandet av kilikiansk konst som omfattar både ikonografin och tekniken. Den rikliga användningen av guld är också ett välkänt kilikianskt drag. Vissa särdrag utesluter dock möjligheten att manuskriptet kan vara producerat av ett kilikianskt mästare. Exempel på dessa är det fria och svepande sättet av målningen som resulterar i en någorlunda generell behandling av formerna, typisk för den nordöstra historiska Armenien.")

/mtd-cil-123-m.jpg "The miniature combines three related scenes in one composition: Joseph of Arimathea before Pilate Asking for the Body of Christ, The Descent from the Cross, and The Entombment. The many expressive devices used serve to accentuate the dramatic significance of the event. The composition is filled with pictorial details; the linear treatment based on the interlacing of curves creates a feeling of nervous anxiety; the figures are elongated to the point of distortion and do not correlate with each other in size; the gestures are intense and full of dynamism, the faces grave and sorrowful. A sense of drama is also conveyed in the colouring of the miniature, with its splashes of bright red and blue turning to purple.<br>At the same time, in spite of what appears to be an overprofu-sion of figures and details, the composition of the scene is maintained with the help of several vertical and horizontal lines (the Cross, the buildings in the background and the framing) which counterbalance the diagonal lines of the figures.�")

/mtd-gr-67-m.jpg "The key role in the decor of the folio is assigned to the headpiece representing The Ascension. The artist chooses a laconic version of the scene based on an archaic iconographic canon. The mandorla with Christ in the centre of the composition is supported by four angels who are the only witnesses of the miracle: neither the Virgin nor the apostles are present.�Nyckelrollen hos dekoren hos sidan finns i överstycket som representerar Kristi Himmelsfärd. Konstnären har valt en laktonisk verion av scenen baserad på en arkaisk ikonografisk kanon. Mandorlan med Kritstus i mitten av kompositionen stöds av fyra änglar som är de enda vittnen till miraklet: varken Jungfrun eller apostlarna är närvarande.")
