| Popis | The paintings of the monastic church of Santa Maria in Pallara (now San Sebastiano al Palatino), which is the focus of this essay, are a rare example of figurative painting from the 10th century that has survived in Rome. This period is considered one of the most fragmented in Roman medieval history. The frescoes have recently been the subject of numerous studies. In addition to articles confirming their dating to the 10th century and examining the church and its paintings from the perspective of function and the interaction between text and images, and those attempting to explain the presence of the cult of San Zotico in the church, with a particular focus on lost narrative cycles in the side aisles and archival materials, I would like to contribute further by exploring a now-lost detail known through copies: the "portrait" of lay donors that was originally on the apse arch. This will be examined in the context of lay ecclesiastical commissions and their representations during this period. |
