Abstract

This study attempts to reconstruct the composition of the plot in the cycle of apostolic suffering, located on the northern wall of the upper southern chapel of the Church of St. Sophia in Ohrid. This fragment of the mural has been little studied, as has the iconography of the apostolic passions in general. To date, there were two interpretations of partially or completely destroyed scenes in the chapel, proposed by P. Milkovich-Pepek and G. Babich. This study proposes an alternative reconstruction of the composition of the cycle, offers an additional series of analogies, and puts forward a hypothesis concerning the example, under the influence of which the author of the chapel painting program might have worked.
