/mtd-gr-34-m.jpg "The essentially canonical treatment of the scene here acquires a distinctly original touch: special prominence is given to the group comprising the figures of the Virgin and the apostles, which are noticeably larger in size than the figures of Christ and the angels. The distance between the two groups is thus deliberately emphasized, symbolizing the spiritual distance between Christ and the witnesses of his miraculous ascension.�Den essentiellt kanoniska behandlingen av scenen här kräver en distinkt originell känsla: speciell vikt har lagts vid gruppen som består av Jungfrun och apostlarna, vilka är kännbar större i storlek än figurerna för Kirstus och änglarna. Avståndet mellan de två grupperna är därmed avsiktligt förstärkt, symboliserande den andliga distansen mellan Kristus och vittnen till hans mirakulösa himmelsfärd.")

/mtd-cil-99-m.jpg "Unlike most of the other historiated miniatures in the manuscript, this scene does not occupy a full page, but is placed under the text, in the lower part of the folio. The figures are arranged almost symmetrically, in a frieze-like fashion, thus forming a well-balanced composition. The animation of the faces, the poses and gestures of the characters suggest that the artist sought to enliven the canonical scheme with details borrowed from real life.�Olik de flesta andra illustrerade miniatyrer i manuskriptet, tar denna scen inte upp en hel sida, utan är placerad under texten, i den nedre delen av sidan. Figurerna är arrangerade nästan symmetriska på ett frisliknande sätt och formar därmed en välbalanserad komposition. Teckningen hos ansiktena, poseringarna och kroppshållningen hos karaktärerna föreslår att konstnären sökte att liva upp det kanoniska schemat med detaljer lånade från det verkliga livet.")

/mtd-cil-122-m.jpg "The folio presents an interesting example of a miniature incorporated into the text: the absence of usual framing and the elements of architectural background overlapping the written lines emphasize the unity of text and illustration, less apparent in the case of the full-page miniatures. The horizontal composition allows for a free and unrestrained arrangement of the figures, which, in its turn, contributes to the mood of concentration and tranquillity permeating the scene. The soft, somewhat restrained colouring composed of pink, blue, pale lilac, violet and light green shades enhances this effect.<br>In presenting the Disciples as listening to their Teacher the artist obviously sought to capture their different reaction to Christ's words, their different manner of listening, thus making a bold, if only tentative attempt at individualization.�")

/mtd-cil-95-m.jpg "Although the motif of The Last Judgement occurred frequently in early Armenian frescoes, it did not appear in illuminated manuscripts until the thirteenth century when it was taken up by Cilician book illustrators, Toros Roslin among them. In the Malatian Gospels we find a concise version of the scene treated in a grand and solemn manner, which is manifest in the strict symmetry of the composition. The three principal figures are supported by the subsidiary groups creating a rhythmical pattern. The dramatic element is enhanced by the colouring based on dense saturated tones.�Även om motivet för Yttersta domen förekom ofta i tidiga armeniska freskomåleri dök det inte upp i illustrerade manuskript förrän 1200-talet när det upptogs av kilikiska båkmålare, bl.a. Toros Roslin. I de malatianska evangelierna hittar vi en kortfattad version av scenen, behandlad i en storartad och högtidlig manér, vilket framgår i den strikta symmetrin hos kompositionen. De tre huvudfigurerna stöds av de andra grupperna som skapar ett rytmiskt mönster. Det dramatiska elementet förstärks av färgsättningen baserad på de tätta mättade tonerna.")

/mtd-cil-106-m.jpg "The Evangelists' portraits in the Gospels of Smbat, like those in the 1270 Bible, are marked by an obvious interest in the architectural setting. The contrast between the relatively small figure of St. Mark and the tall magnificent buildings reaching almost to the top border creates an effect of solemnity. The optical treatment of the townscape shows that the artist was familiar with the laws of perspective, while the tonal modelling of the face and the body of St. Mark betrays an attempt to convey volume. The palette of the miniature is more varied than that of the khorans and first pages thanks to the use of ochreous, light green, pale lilac and blue shades supporting the basic combination of reds and dark blues.�Porträtten av evangelisterna i Smbats evangelium, lik de i 1270 års Bibel, är markerade med ett uppenbart intresse för det arkitektoniska skapandet. Kontrasten mellan den relativ lilla figuren av S:t Markus och den långa magnifika byggnaden som sträcker sig nästan ända upp till övre kanten skapar en effekt av storhet. Den optiska behandlingen av stadslanskapet visar att konstnären var bekant med perspektivets lagar, medan tonmodelleringen av ansiktet och kroppen hos S:t Markus avslöjar ett försök till skapa volym. paletten i miniatyren är mer varierad än den hos khoranerna och första sidorna, tack vare användningen av ockrafärgade, ljusgrönt, blek lila och blåa nyanser som stödjer den grundläggande kombinationen av rött och mörkblått.")
