Begining of Baroque Tendencies in the Serbian Illustrated Books Stemmatographia: Analysis Portrait of Emperor Dusan beween Chronos and Minerva

Abstract

Stemmatographia is one of the most valuable books that the Serbs issued in the 18th century. By its scope it is not so great, but this book marked the beginning of the Baroque tendency for the Serbs, and also expressed the contemporary cultural and national-political aspirations of the Serbian people in Austria. Socio-historical circumstances have played a major role in the issuing Stemmatographia. This manuscript was created shortly after the Belgrade peace treaty of 1739 when Serbia once again fell under theTurkish rule.
