The Mandorla Symbol in Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Iconography of the Dormition
The present study examines the use of the mandorla symbol in Byzantine and post-Byzantine iconography of the Dormition. The research aims to outline the reasons for the adoption of the mandorla in the iconographic scheme of the subject as a means of visualizing the heavenly Eden and the Glory of God's presence. It traces the main stages in the development of the Dormition iconography and the creation of its principal models, highlighting the dive…
“Blachernitissa” or “Axion Estin”
The present study is focused on clarifying the origin of the pictorial model of the subject “Theotokos Blachernitissa” and its dogmatic and Eucharistic significance as a visual expression of the idea of the Holy Mother of God as a “living altar” of God. This subject enjoys a great variety of names and iconographic variations, hence sometimes questions arise about the correct identification of some models. A typical example in this regard is the f…
From Word to Image
Based on the complex interrelations between word and image, the present paper aims to elucidate the penetrating correlation of the theological thought of the time with the art of a specific epoch. The findings of this study emphasize on the Hesychasm and its influence over Byzantine iconography in the fourteenth century AD, especially in relation to the formation of a new, unusual form of mandorla, called “hesychastic type”. In order to explain i…
Icons as Maps
Although a comparison between Orthodox icons and geographic maps sounds like an extravagant idea, if we set them in a broader context, we will see that they are actually akin. Both, the Orthodox εικών and the medieval mappamundi are symbolic images that represent cosmological concepts, showing the essence and character of the Universe in images. They enable people to overcome their natural limitations and see what is invisible to their eyes
Orthodox Cosmology and Cosmography
Orthodox iconography is focused on the idea of representing the cosmos, the essence of God’s creatio ex nihilo, thus serving as a visual cosmology and thence - as a cosmography of all being. Icons depict the image of the archetypal world in its integrity, unachievable for the limited human abilities, and are ontologically inseparable from this archetype. Therefore, iconography has been always related with the idea of representing the world trough…
