/mtd-gr-42-m.jpg "Just as in The Thirty Pieces of Silver by the same master (P1.40), the treatment of the scene verges on the grotesque and at the same time is characterized by the naive directness of folk art. The ugly faces of Judas and the guards undoubtedly reflect the artist's negative attitude to this group of characters. The compositional principle of the miniature consists in the strictly balanced rhythmical arrangement not only of the forms and movements of the figures, but also of the colours.�Precis som in Trettio silvermynt, av samma mästare, (P1.40), sammansättningen av denna scen gränsar till den groteska och samtidigt kännetecknas av naiva rakheten hos folkkonst. De fula ansikten hos Judas och vakterna reflekterar otvivelaktigt konstnärens negativa attityd gentemot denna group av personer. Den kompositionella principen hos miniatyren består av det strikta balanserade rytmiska arrangemanget av inte bara formerna och rörelserna hos figurerna, utan även hos färgerna.")

/mtd-gr-41-m.jpg "Ovsian is a typical representative of the \"popular trend\" in the Vaspourakan school of book painting. In his miniatures, the archaic models are interpreted with a rare sincerity and spontaneity. Canonical motifs are treated by the artist as if seen through the eyes of common people; here this tendency shows in the slightly naive manner in which the righteous are opposed to the sinners.�Ovsian är en typisk representant för den \"populära treden\" i vaspourakanska skolan för bokmålning. I hans miniatyrer, tolkas de arkaiska modellerna med en sällsynt ärlighet och spontanitet. Kanoniska motiv behandlas av artisten som om sedda genom den gemene individens ögon; här visas denna tendens genom den något naiva sättet som de rättfärdigade jämförs med syndarna.")

Tserun belongs to a group of Vaspurakan artists whose work was entirely based on and inspired by the local traditions of book illumination. Tserun had numerous pupils and followers, so that the term "Tserunian style" came to be adopted in specialist literature.�Tserun tillhör en grupp avVaspourakans konstnärer vars verk var helt baserat på och inspirerat av de lokala traditionerna för bokmålning.

/mtd-cil-143-m.jpg "The style of the miniature retains certain traits proper to Cilician book painting of the 1280s. Thus, the facial type of the Evangelist, his somewhat heavy figure, the technique of face-modelling, and, finally, the choice of red, dark blue and dove-grey for the decoration of the framework go back to earlier models. But as interpreted by an artist working in the last decade of the century, there is a noticeable deterioration in almost all pictorial elements which lose their original harmonious integrity. This is especially evident in the simplified treatment of the figure, in the awkwardness of the posture, in the crude colouring and in the schematic linear design.�Stilen hos miniatyren påminner om vissa drag hos kilikiska bokmåleriet under 1280-talet. Därför är ansiktsuttrycken hos evangelisten, hans något tunga figur, tekniken hos ansiktsmodelleringen och slutgligen, valet av rött, mörkblå och duvgrått för dekorationen av ramverket går tillbaka till tidigare modeller. Men som tolkad av en konstnär som arbetade under de senare decennierna i seklet, finns det anmärkningsvärda avvikelser i nästan alla bildliga element som förlorar sin ursprungliga harmoniska integritet. Detta är särskilt uppenbart i den förenklade behandlingen av figuren, i kroppshållningens tafatthet, i den grova färgsättningen och i den schmatisk och linjära designen.")

/mtd-gr-14-m.jpg "The enlarged version of the scene represented in the miniature includes the motifs of The Annunciation to the Shepherds, of The Adoration of the Magi and of The Bathing of the Child. The portraits of the donor and his wife are skilfully incorporated into the composition. Their faces were apparently painted with a view to achieving a likeness. The meticulously depicted costumes of the donors present considerable ethnographic interest.�Den förstorade versionen av scenen som finns representerad i miniatyren inkluderar motiv från herdarnas bebådelse, de tre vise männens vördnadsbetygelse och Jesubarnets tvagning. Porträtten av donatören och hans fru är skickligt inbakade i kompositionen. Deras ansikten har uppenbarligen målats med målet att få en likhet. De noggrannt avbildade kläderna av donatorerna representerar avsevärt intresse för etnografin.")
