Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa as a method of transmitting information about history and power in 20th century Ethiopia

Abstracts

EN

In one of the most important churches in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) there is a panel containing several paintings. Part of the paintings represent scenes from the lives of saints, while exact copies of photographs showing Emperor Haile Sillasie during the war against Italy (1935–1941) constitute another part. The subject of the paintings, as well as the form, are deeply rooted in the tradition of Ethiopian church paintings. At the same time, both the subject and the form reveal several modern influences. The paintings were copied from frequently published, and thus well-known, photographs. This fact stresses the importance of the scenes chosen to be represented on the church walls. The panel from St. George Church serves as a good example of methods used in Ethiopia under Haile Sillasie to transmit a message about power and history, and to present the intended picture of the Emperor.
