Abstract

The study is devoted to the art historical analysis of the images of the symbol of the Tree of Life on the ornaments of the Kyiv princes in the XI - first half of the XIII centuries. The article examines the artistic features of similar images, presented in the works of Byzantine jewellery art. The history of the tradition of using the symbol of the Tree of Life in the jewellery art of Kyivan Rus is covered. The symbolism of the Tree of Life is regarded as a part of the semantic and semiotic system of the Kyiv-Rus iconography of the 11th – first half of the 13th centuries. Aspects characterizing the image of the Tree of Life as a symbol indicating the spiritual truth of Christianity have been revealed. His place and purpose in this artistic system are explained. A comparative analysis of the practice of using the symbol of the Tree of Life in Byzantine jewellery with the jewellery of princely Kyiv has been carried out. Artistic peculiarities and purposes of separate works are considered. The main types of exhibits are outlined. Technical and technological features of execution, specific artistic commonalities and differences are specified. The results of the study showed that the decorations of the times of the prince of Kyiv, in particular the symbolism of the Tree of Life, which was a dominant element of their decoration, are still of great interest to masters of modern Ukrainian jewellery art. Materials of this study are proposed for use in the process of creating new exclusive collections of jewellery hot enamel, filigree, graining, engraving, and niello. The results of the presentation of such conceptual collections will contribute to the popularization of the cultural and artistic heritage of Ukraine in the world. The study used historical-cultural and art-project approaches in combination with comparative and presentation methods.
