DEUX MODELES INSOLITES D'ICONOGRAPHIE DE LA PENTECOTE DANS LA MINIATURE DU VASPURAKAN DU XIVe -XVe SIECLES.

Résumé

This Study features two iconographic types of the Pentecost very common in the 14th century and at the beginning of the 15th century in the art of miniature of Vaspurakan. The first one shows a composition in three levels witch is the prefiguration of the Christian Church. Always less than twelve in number, the apostles gather in the Upper House an receive the Holy Spirit, represented by a dove with descends from his Ark to become the new humanity which was to rebuild and repopulate the universe ravaged by the deluge (Gen 8, 13 - 9, 1-2). The second type shows a composition divided in two: the image of the tetramorphic throne dominates the top portion; below, the apostles in the Upper House are depicted. Once again a tired reading of the Pentecost is proposed, inspired by Genesis and particularly by the creation of the word, since the apostles received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost to reconstruct and repopulate the regenerated new world. It is probably this interpretation which is proposed by the miniaturists of Vaspurakan in these highly unusual images.
