Abstract: Filipova, Snežana (SS. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje)
Continuities and changes in the visual and material culture on Macedonian land in the
Middle Ages
Culture and art represent and preserve the spirit of the land and form the curriculum vitae of the
land and the people. The continuity of high-quality art values, the cohesion of cultures and art
styles and valuable works of art make us very proud. Macedonian territory is in some cases the
only region where some of the most important works of medieval styles have been preserved.
Certain monuments are inevitable when giving an art history survey.
Developed city life predates the Roman period. The importance of the municipium Stobi is
proved by the visits of Emperor Theodosius, while the importance of Heraclea is demonstrated
by the 7 visits of Manuel II Komnenos. Since the time of Tzar Samuel, Skopje had importance
as strategical point for Byzantium, the Serbian State and the Turks. Macedonia was very
important for the Roman Empire, as shown by the roads, theatres, aqueducts, beautiful palaces
and mosaics, and also for Byzantium. Since the Komnenos dynasty had lands and authority
here, they invested in new churches and residencies. After the beautiful, marble Roman-era
portraits, there was a continuation in the art of royal portraiture in icon painting and within the
Komnenian-era churches. Since the fifteenth century there has mainly been a late Byzantine art
influence. Later, some features of late European Baroque art were introduced. In the late
nineteenth century Macedonian architects built large churches in the Balkans, and Macedonian
sculptors were engaged in Serbia and Moldavia. Thus Macedonian artistic genius had a large
impact on Balkan art. Ohrid, as the seat of the Archbishopric, was another mighty artistic centre.
Some researchers think that Theodor Duka (1224-1230) was elected tsar here by the Archbishop
Demetrius Homatianus. During the Middle Ages the Church became the main creative
institution. In the late thirteenth and fourteenth centuries Macedonian churches were painted by
the best painters of Palaiologan era, Michael and Eutihius. Art continued to flourish to a lesser
extent under Turkish rule. Still, the Bishopric of Ohrid managed to order new art works and
objects and to receive gifts by town guilds or rich orthodox citizens.
To sum up, there has been a continuation in the creation of high-quality orthodox art in
Macedonia for over 16 centuries, since the fourth century, CE. Also, the places where a pagan
temple and later a church were erected show over two millennia of continuity, which speaks of
the continual usage of “holy places”. Sometimes this is related to “holy springs of water”,
sometimes to the long-time memory and respect towards holiness as a general state.

Abstract: Rebuilding Networks in Byzantium after 1204: The Case of Niketas Choniates
After the Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204, Niketas Choniates, a distinguished bureaucrat, author, and a learned elite of the Byzantines, found himself in an unwelcoming environment after he sought refuge in one of the Byzantine successor states, the Nicaean Empire in Asia Minor. His former Constantinopolitan circle now shattered and scattered, he had to re-establish political ties during the vibrant years ahead. My paper examines the ways in which a former high-ranked court officer of Byzantium tried to attain a position fitting his qualities by creating a new network of people in different parts of the fragmented post-1204 Byzantine world.
