Belarusian icon-painting ranks high in Slav culture. The traditions of
the Bysantine art, which were assimilated by the culture of Belarusian's
old towns (the 9th - 14th cc.), have been united with the stylistic
peculiarities of the West European art - the Renaissance (the 14th - 16th
cc.), baroque (late 16th - 18th cc.), classicism (latter half of the 18th
c.).
The roots of this phenomena lie in the originality of historical
development of Belarus. Being situated at the juncture of the Latin West
and the Orthodox and Union East, Belarus was a part of the Great Duchy of
Litwa and Rzechpospolita. In such conditions took place the formation of
the Belarusian nation, language, culture. And the icon-painting played a
sterling part in this process.
The icon-painting of 15th - 18th century Belarus presents a bright page of
Slav peoples's culture.
