A STUDY IN SYNCRETISM

Grgo Gamulin ; Sveučilište u Zagrebu

Abstract

The author deals with the universal question of syncretism which fuses two heterogeneous styles. In this case they are the Romanesque painting in Italy and the Byzantine style. He also emphasises the difference between the Conmenian and Palaeologan Byzantine styles, which caused the appearance of Paolo Veneziano and tile Venetian 14 c painting. He touches upon the question of symbiosis with Giotto's style, and then moves on to the 300 year long crippling phase of Italo-Cretan painting. Within are to be found: the question of eclecticism and real symbiosis; the rare great syntheses: Giunta - Cimabue - Paolo, and the great El Greco synthesis which occured later.
