Frescoes in Kazanlak Tomb painted by Kodzimases

Anita Valentinova, source:travel.pop.bg, 21.10.2008

Frescoes in Kazanlak Tomb, which is included in the world cultural heritage, are painted by Kodzimases who is Thracian. The tomb itself is ordered by the emperor Poigos, a son of Sevt III. Konstantin Boshnakov noticed a photo, on which there was an inscription on the dome of the tomb, made above the figures of two rulers and in the field of three chariots. The historian began to doubt very seriously as it is a feature of his character as well. He requested a permission to enter in the tomb and to take photos, which assured the presence of letters, which lost their colour. Later, investigations with infra-red and ultra-violet rays were made and eventually the whole title appeared. It is written in Antique Greek language and all letters are not bigger than 12 mm: Kodzimases painted. Mr. Boshnakov claims that the letters are original and they couldnt have been seen by restorers. The profile of Roigos is identical to the image of the only one coin with his name preserved in Bulgaria. In Bulgarian historians opinion, Roigos is obviously the inheritor of the founder of Sevtopolis-Sevt III. Mr. Boshnakov affirmed that frescoes dated back to the middle of 3d century B.C. Rather earlier when Kodzimases wasnt so well-experienced, he painted also the tomb in the village Alexandrovo, Haskovo Area. There graphite with his name was found and next to it the word Hrestos was put; one of its meanings is skillful. It is believed that this was the art name of the genius painter. It is the only one Thracian Tomb, where a painter has put his name and it is quite unusual for the past time. According to Mr. Boshnakov, the Thracian has worked only with plots, which the best painters were familiar with. There are 32 figures of people and 25 of horses in Kazanlak Tomb.
