METAL CROSSES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE 18TH– 19TH CENTURIES IN THE COLLECTION OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF UKRAINIAN HISTORY
Abstract
The article reviews the metal crosses of the Catholic cult of the 18–19 centuries (breast and chock) from the collection of the National Museum of Ukrainian History that have not been studied and introduced into the scientific circulation yet. In particular, in this staurographic collection there are two rather rare crosses, made in Spain, depicting St. Diego of Alcalá. In general, these museum objects represent very interesting historical sources not only to the history of Ukraine but also other European states. They are also interesting as works of decorative-applied arts of the 18–19 centuries.
Key words: staurography, Catholicism, Modern Age, Spain, Italy, St. Diego, 18–19 centuries, National Museum of Ukrainian History.
