| Summary: | The complicated political and cultural position of the Serbs who migrated to
the Habsburg Monarchy in the early eighteenth century caused the rise of
popularity of Russian rulers, who were recognized as protectors of the
Orthodox against religious persecution. Political ties were accompanied by a
strong Russification of Serbian culture, which was carried out through the
mass procurement of Russian liturgical books and the arrival of many Russian
teachers to Serbian schools. Ukrainian painters who came to the
Metropolitanate of Karlovci brought new forms of baroque religious painting
and introduced changes in the structure of the iconostasis. The cult of the
Romanov dynasty among Orthodox Serbs in Hungary was amplified by their
numerous portraits and engravings. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. 177001: Representations of identity in art andverbal-visual culture of the Modern era] |
