| Summary: | The paper discusses an icon of the enthroned Mother of God with Christ, St.
Nicholas, and St. John the Baptist in the National Archaeological Institute
with Museum - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NAIM - BAS) in Sofia. The icon
was previously dated to the fifteenth-sixteenth or fourteenth century. We
propose its attribution to Longin, a renowned Serbian painter from the
second half of the sixteenth century. This attribution is explained by the
striking similarities of the stylistic characteristics and most iconographic
elements of the Sofia icon with those of the painter’s signed works. The
icon must have made its way to Sofia from the southern parts of Kosovo and
Metohija, where it was probably created. |
