Abstract
The second part of this paper is dedicated to the ktetor portraits of church
dignitaries in Serbian Post-Byzantine painting. It focuses on monastic
ktetor portraits (hegoumenoi, hieromonks and monks), their vestments,
discussing the state of monastic communities during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries in the introduction. The concluding remarks summarise
the placement of ktetorial portraits, corporal rhetoric (proskynesis),
insignia, haloes and portrait characteristics, as well as the categories of
ktetorship (founding, restoration, donorship), and the imagery and
eschatological ideas constructing the visual culture of clerical ktetorship
in Serbian Post- Byzantine painting.
