There isn’t any medieval art at the Timișoara Art Museum, but there is a collection of primarily eighteenth century pieces of religious art on display.
This artwork is by Stefan Tenecki, painted with oils directly onto wood. It was originally on display at the wooden church in Hodoș, Timiș County, which was originally constructed in the late eighteenth century.
The church was pretty much falling down by the early 1970s, despite a renovation in the 1920s, and it was moved to Timișoara. This is one of the pieces, dating from around the 1760s, which was moved to the museum.
This style of painting Jesus with an almost adult like face is a Byzantine thing which I think looks quite odd, but it must have suited the church at the time. And I rather like that this artwork was being looked at a rural church over 250 years ago.
