Brâncovenic style in the romanian religious architecture of the 17th-18 th centuries

Summary/Abstract: The issue of our research lies in highlighting religious art during the reign of Constantin Brâncoveanu. The present study aims at an analysis of Brâncoveanu religious architecture in close connection with the socio-political and religious context of the 17th-18th centuries. The historical and artistic researches, presented successively and concurrently, each with the specific route of study, make an objective analysis of the importance of the innovative style in the Romanian creation that has been imposed over the centuries in the national culture. Historical documents reveal periods and dates, without going into a stylistic analysis, and the artistic studies on the subject make the aesthetic analysis of the period without insisting on the socio-political characteristics of the Brâncoveanu era. The presented paper aims to be a balanced exploration between the two branches of study, focusing on the history-art-theology dialogue. So we will try to make a sum of the historical, stylistic, pictorial and archaeological foundations, which were the basis of Brâncoveanu style, concluding that the art created by the era dominated by the personality of the grea tlord Constantin Brâncoveanu was a significant mode lfor Romanian art. In the subject presented, we will talk about the brâncovenian architecture in the XVIIth century, ie the architecture of the fortifications, the unfortified residences and we will realize a real anatomy of the Brâncoveanu style.
