Wall-paintings of the early medieval churches of the dubrovnik bishopric

Zidne slike pronađene na crkvama u Dubrovačkoj biskupiji mogu se datirati u drugu polovicu 11. stoljeća, nakon crkvenog raskola. U radu se posvećujem trima crkvama. Smata se da je cjelokupne zidne oslike u crkvi Sv. Nikole na Koločepu i crkvi Sv. Ivana na otoku Šipanu radila ista radionica, koja je vjerojatno oslikala i dubrovačku prvostolnicu. Lako je za povjerovati da te tri crkve nisu bile jedine na tom području koje je oslikala ova radionica, školovana na istoku. Radionica je vezana za bizantske umjetničke struje sa snažnim oslanjanjem na ranokršćansku tradiciju.The wall paintings found in the churches of the Dubrovnik dioces can be dated to the second half of the 11th century, after the church schism. This analysis is devoted to three churches. It is believed that all of the wall paintings in the church of St.Nikola on Koločep and St.Ivan on island of Šipan are made by the same workshop that worked on the Dubrovnik chatedral. It is easy to belive that these three churches were not the only one painted by this workshop that was educated on the east.the workshop refers to byzantine tradition with strong reliance on early christian tradition
