ANGELS ADORNING IVAN MAZEPA’S PALACE IN BATURYN

This article with gallery of colour illustrations in PDF examines the rare glazed ceramic and terracotta tiles featuring the angels or putti that ornamented stoves at the ambitious principal residence of Hetman Ivan Mazepa in his capital city of Baturyn. Their fragments have been discovered during the excavations of the palace’s remnants. This publication presents the computer graphic reconstructions of two complete tiles and the most expensive and ornate majolica multicolour tiled stove of Mazepa’s headquarter which was destroyed during the ravaging of Baturyn by Russian troops in 1708. These tiles testify to the wealth and fine art adornments of his palace and also demonstrate the assimilation and dissemination of the putti motif of the Renaissance tradition in the decorative applied art of Cossack Ukraine promoted by Mazepa. This article was published in the “Ukrainian Echo”, the English-language section of the popular Ukrainian Canadian newspaper “Homin Ukrainy”, Vol. LXXVI, No. 23, Toronto, June 18, 2024.
