What does 'Greek manner' mean in regions far beyond the Mediterranean? What stories do images need? How do narratives shape pictures? The study addresses these questions in Byzantine paintings from the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, contextualized with evidence from Poland, Serbia, Russia, and Italy. The research follows developments in artistic practices and the reception of these images, as well as distinguishing between the Greek manner - based on visual qualities - and the style favoured by the devout, sustained by cults and altered through stories. Following the reception of Byzantine and pseudo-Byzantine art in Lithuania and Poland from the late fourteenth through the early eighteenth centuries, \u003ccite\u003eManiera Greca in Europe's Catholic Eas\u003c\/cite\u003et argues that tradition is repetitive order achieved through reduction and oblivion, and concludes that the sole persistent understanding of the Greek image has been stereotyped as the icon of the Mother of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giedre Mickunaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 946298266X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462982666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.22w x 0.71d","brand":"Giedre Mickunaite","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080438509823,"sku":"9789462982666","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9e4fc10-b68b-424e-a4f1-e2a95baa71d7.jpg?v=1685486783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maniera-greca-in-europes-catholic-giedr-mickunaite-9789462982666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
