The article looks at Count Wojciech Dzieduszycki’s (1848–1909) ideas on church art. His approach to sacred art and individual pieces of art is presented through the analysis of his attitude to 15-17thcentury paintings in Halychyna. The count paid special attention to the iconstasis from the village of Bohorodchany (Ukraine), whose artistic value he appreciated highly, and which he considered equal to works of art by early Renaissance painters. Dzieduszycki claimed that the local church art, having preserved the basic Greek elements and giving new life to the Byzantine canon, by no means rejected the Christian mysticism distinctive of the Western art, but rather, on the contrary, added a unique artistic fl air to it. He acknowledged the aesthetic value of the works of Rus’ art, as well as their high professional level.
