| Abstract | Central Europe is a place where comes together two Christian Churches: Catholic and Orthodox. In art of the medieval period each of them had a different way of expressing their own theological tradition. It is interesting to see whether they were influenced by each other or not. Another question is in which way some gestures appear in medieval paintings in Central Europe, where they came from, and what they mean in Passion of Christ cycles and Paschal iconography. |
