5 Icon Painting in the Ukrainę 9

the Orthodox Church in Zholkva, clearly copies an engraving by Peter de Jode.¹² Sirailarly, other scenes from Prazdniks (icon cycles located in the second row of the typical iconostasis, usuałly depicting 12 scenes of the life of Mary and Christ), are pattemed after the works contained in the Theatrum Biblicum. This pattem collection, morę popularly known as the Piscator Bibie, was first published in 1614 in Antwerp by Claes Jansz Visscher, and reprinted in 1639, 1643, 1650, and finally in 1674 in Amsterdam. It consists of showings with Old and New Testament scenes copied from plates by 16th century Dutch artists, including the Wierix brothers, Hendrik Goltzius, C. Ryckemans, Harman Muller, Adriaen Collaert, Peter de Jode and others, who executed copperplates engravings based on the drawings of Marten de Vos and Marten Hemskeerk.¹³ This compendium of 400 etchings reached distant lands and examples of imitations are to be found in Moscow, Yaroslav and Rostov.¹⁴ Svencicka has noted several examples from the Ukrainę, primarily in the works of Ivan Rutkovich, and compared these with the bas-relief in the Kampian Chapel.¹⁵ Retuming to the prototypes used for the Boim chapel, it is necessaiy to take into account an earlier grap hic collection published in 1585 by Gerard de Jode, entitled Thesauris Yeteris et Novi Testamenti. He compiled the collection of copper engravings, numbered them, and added ąuotations from the Bibie.¹⁶ A dozen or so years later, the same plates were used again by GerarcTs brother, Peter de Jode, who added several new scenes to the new edition, which he retitled Theatrum Biblicum.

This scene was later copied also in Russia, for example in the case of the engraving issued by Aeleksiej Fedorovich Zubov. Cf. Aleksej Fedorowich Zubow, exh. cat., Gossudarstvennyj Russkij Muzej Leningrad, 1988. An artist affected by the strong influence of European graphic art was Afanasiy Trukhmenski, who was active in Moscow in the 17th century. There are 13 copper plates by him in the Public Library in St. Petersburg. Among these is the etching of the Resurrection along with other scenes from the live Christ, referring to the engrav-ing by J. Stradanus. Inv. No Pic 547/3-T801.
