Гордана Бабић, дописни члан САНУ и редовни професор Филозофског
факултета у Београду, била је историчар уметности светског угледа. Њене
књиге и студије, високе и трајне научне вредности, обезбедиле су јој веома истакнуто место у историји проучавања византијске и старе српске
уметности. У научној области којом се бавила била је наш најважнији
посредник са светом. Ретко ко је тако убедљиво као она на међународној сцени представљао српско уметничко наслеђе и актуелна постигнућа
српске медиевистике. Пленила је раскошним знањем и широком културом, трезвеношћу, одмереним и отменим држањем
Gordana Babić, a corresponding member of the SASA and full professor at the
Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, was a world-renowned art historian. Her books and
research studies of high and permanent scientific merit ensured her a highly prominent place in the history of Byzantine and old Serbian art studies. In her research area
she was our most notable representative in the world science. Few are those who could
present Serbian artistic heritage and the current achievements in Serbian medieval
studies as plausibly as her on the international scene. Her vast knowledge and broad
culture, reasonableness, elegance and poise met with universal admiration.
She was born on 22 February 1932 in Valjevo. She finished primary and grammar
school in her home town. She graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade,
earning a degree in History of Art in 1955. She completed her postgraduate studies
at the same faculty, by defending her Master’s thesis in 1958. Subsequently..., she spent
three years specializing in Paris (1958–1961), and another two in Washington, enrolled
on the Byzantine Studies program at Dumbarton oaks. She defended her doctoral dissertation entitled “Les chapelles annexes des églises byzantines. Fonction liturgique
et programmes iconographiques” in June 1963 at the Sorbonne, before the committee
comprised of A. Grabar, A. Frolov, and G. Gaillard.
From 1963 to 1969 she worked at the Yugoslav Institute for the Protection of
Cultural Monuments, and from 1969 to 1979 within the SASA Board for Hilandar. She
was named Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy (Department of History
of Art) in 1979, and Full Professor in 1987. She was elected to the Serbian Academy of
Sciences and Arts as a corresponding member in 1988. Between 1985 and 1993, she
acted as the editor-in-chief of Zograf, a journal of medieval art. In 1980 she received
the Herder Prize, awarded by the University of Vienna. In 1989 she was appointed an
honorary member of the Christian Archeological Society, based in Athens. She participated in many scientific conferences at home and abroad, and during the summer
semesters of 1989 and 1991 she lectured at the Sorbonne University (Paris IV). She died
on 25 December 1993 in Belgrade and was buried at the New cemetery in Valjevo. A few
months after her passing she was elected Professor of Athens University honoris causa
post mortem.
The main research area of Gordana Babić was the medieval painting of the
Orthodox Christian world, primarily of Serbian and Byzantine provenance. Her first,
and many of her later works dealt with the iconographic issues in Christian art, nota bly the iconography of scenes and individual figures of saints. Great significance was
also accorded therein to the questions regarding the selection and arrangement of
iconographic themes in Orthodox Christian temples, hence investigating the relationship between the programme of wall painting and liturgical functions of particular
parts of the church (side chapels, narthex, altar, iconostasis, dome, cantor’s stand). Her
research on Serbian medieval art revealed her deep interest in the portraits of rulers,
church dignitaries and gentry, establishing similarities and differences in compari-son with the Byzantine patterns. Dealing comprehensively with the issues in medieval
art, she devoted a number of research studies to the inscriptions on frescoes, while
also deserving credit for one of the pioneering works concerned with social factors in
the development of Byzantine painting (a plenary paper from the XVIIIth International
Congress of Byzantine Studies in Moscow, 1991).
Gordana Babić conducted research on fresco painting in parallel with that on iconography. Apart from analyzing the relationship between the iconographic types of
the Virgin Mary and the epithets they were labelled with and authoring studies of
individual icons, what stands out as particularly significant is her overview of Serbian
iconography, published in an extensive monograph on icons which included the world’s
leading Byzantine scholars (and which was translated into several world languages). In
the latter years of her life Gordana Babić studied intensively the ornaments in ancient
books, especially the so-called teratological motifs in Greek and Serbian manuscripts.
Gordana Babić also wrote a number of monographs on Serbian medieval churches.
In this area, a book that merits special mention is the one devoted to King’s Church
of Studenica, hailed as “a masterpiece of a seasoned scholar, able to firmly resolve
even the most complex issues” (V. J. Đurić). Her synthetic overviews of particular
periods in the development of old Serbian art, published in the first two volumes of
A History of the Serbian People, are of prime importance as well. What also represents
a noteworthy segment in the scientific opus of Gordana Babić are numerous book reviews, as well as articles and entries in encyclopedias and dictionaries.
Apart from the scientific work of Gordana Babić, one needs to stress the importance of her pedagogical work, particularly her professorship at the postgraduate studies in Medieval Art at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, which, among other things,
resulted in a comprehensive monograph on the wall paintings of the Dečani Monastery.
