Art in the service of faith: Splendor and glory of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci

The ecclesiastical art of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci belongs to the most intricate wholes of Serbian art of the new age. Its development lasted for more than two centuries, in the historical and symbolic space in which faith, politics, education, social representation, and national consciousness intersected. Through iconostases, wall painting, portraits, graphics, and temple interiors, the public image of this church institution was shaped, along with its spiritual authority, historical memory, and the place of the Serbian community in the Habsburg Monarchy.
