How and why does vernacular art become foreign? What does 'Greek
manner' mean in regions far beyond the Mediterranean? What stories
do images need? How do narratives shape pictures? The study
addresses these questions in Byzantine paintings from the former
Grand Duchy of Lithuania, contextualized with evidence from Poland,
Serbia, Russia, and Italy. The research follows developments in
artistic practices and the reception of these images, as well as
distinguishing between the Greek manner - based on visual qualities
- and the style favoured by the devout, sustained by cults and
altered through stories. Following the reception of Byzantine and
pseudo-Byzantine art in Lithuania and Poland from the late
fourteenth through the early eighteenth centuries, Maniera Greca in
Europe's Catholic East argues that tradition is repetitive order
achieved through reduction and oblivion, and concludes that the
sole persistent understanding of the Greek image has been
stereotyped as the icon of the Mother of God.
