Abstract

Quali sono i fondamenti dell'icona orientale ? Quali affascinanti teologia e storia si celano dietro le immagini bizantine e ortodosse che da decenni seducono l'Occidente cattolico ? L'autrice ricostruisce la complessa evoluzione della raffigurazione di Cristo e del sacro, motivando il passaggio da un cristianesimo inizialmente aniconico all'interpretazione dell'Oriente cristiano in cui addirittura le immagini religiose furono investite nel secondo concilio di Nicea da un'aura teologica e rivelativa che cambiò radicalmente il corso della storia dell'arte cristiana e allontanò definitivamente il mondo latino da quello bizantino. Nell'intreccio fra storia, teologia e arte, in un'indagine che si muove con attenzione tra la sponda bizantina e quella latina del cristianesimo, si mettono in luce le radici teologiche dell'arte sacra, esplorando un dibattito ingiustamente sottovalutato.

Abstract

A new generation of American medieval art historians explores how sacred images were perceived during the Middle Ages in Byzantium and Europe. Focusing on the relationship between a particular type of medieval art - the sacred image - and its audience, the contributors consider the part played in this relationship by the image's context, whether on the page of a book or on the wall of a building. The book allows the reader to see the fluidity of the sacred image, showing how factors including audience, purpose, and setting affected the form it took. The essays cover a full range of images, including panel paintings, altarpieces, manuscripts, and wall paintings, and a rich variety of socioreligious settings, private, monastic, and imperial. Also examined are the differences between images produced for a single viewer and those produced for communities; images produced for private contemplation or devotion and those that functioned within a liturgical setting; and the varying ways in which sacred images affected women and men, religious and secular communities, rulers and the ruled

Abstract

This book examines the theology of icons in the eighth century, the most critical period in the evolution of the Eastern Church's teaching on images. The principal source is provided by the acta of the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787. The political circumstances which led to the outbreak of the controversy over icons are discussed in detail but the main emphasis is on the theological arguments and presuppositions of the participants in the council. Major themes include the nature of tradition, the relationship between image and reality and the place of christology. Ultimately the argument over icons was about the accessibility of the divine. Icons were held by the iconophiles to communicate a deifying grace which raised the believer to participation in the life of God.
