Document Details : Title: The Proskynetarion of Hernen Castle Author(s): VAN AALST, Victoria , IMMERZEEL, Mat Journal: Eastern Christian Art Volume: 2 Date: 2005 Pages: 83-91 DOI: 10.2143/ECA.2.0.2004551 Abstract : Hernen Castle, near Nijmegen in the east of the Netherlands, was the most ideal location for the organisation of a symposium dedicated to proskynetaria, not only for its idyllic ambiance, but also because the only example in the Netherlands of this kind of Palestine pilgrims’ souvenirs can be admired here. This well-preserved specimen is owned by the icon restorer and art-historian, Mrs Zuzana Skalova, and was exhibited for the first time on the occasion of this scholarly meeting. It is dated 1832 and therefore perfectly illustrates the production of the Jerusalem ateliers of the first half of the nineteenth century. |
