dc.description.abstractMesrop Khizantsi is one of the most prominent representatives of Armenian miniature painting of the 17th century. He lived almost his entire creative life (about fifty years) in Isfahan (New Julfa) and the surrounding Armenian towns. Some forty-five religious and ritual manuscripts, richly illuminated by Mesrop Khizantsi, have been preserved. One of them, called the "Saint Flower Gospel", dated 1619, is kept in the Mashtots Matenadaran (Mat. Ms. 11203). The iconography of some miniatures in this Gospel has been influenced by the apocryphal Book of the Christ Childhood. The figures of the Dominical Feasts, especially the personality of Christ in the scenes of Transfiguration and Crucifixion, have interesting interpretations from the iconographical-symbolic viewpoint. In the first one Christ is depicted in an untraditional iconographic style, especially the movements of his hands. In the miniature Christ has one open eye, while the other is closed. Also of great interest is Judas character in the scene of Betrayal, in which he is like a lost child. The author notes that other iconographic details of the miniatures are also unusual. In particular, the motif of the blackthorn (crown of thorns), abundant in several miniatures, refers to the sufferings of Christ and His Apostles. The author concludes that Mesrop Khizantsi’s iconography in the "Saint Flower Gospel" is an exceptional sample of the 17th century Armenian miniature.
