Renovation of the Iconostasis and Developing the Polychromes in the St. George Orthodox Cemetery Chapel in Topilec

Abstracts

EN

The beginnings of the Orthodox parish in Topilec, the Białystok poviat, date back to the first half of the 16th century. There is a cemetery chapel erected in 1951 on its territory. In the years 2018–2020, comprehensive artistic work was carried out there. The iconostasis of the chapel was renovated and supplemented with a deacon doors. Also the polychromes of the presbitery and the chapel’s vaults were also developed. The depictions of the saints were inspired by the local iconographic tradition and early Christian art. The symbolism and aesthetics taken from the „martyrs’ era” are intended to emphasize the exceptional importance of the cemetery, where many innocent victims of the post-war period were buried.
