Icons and Saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church (Tradigo Alfredo)(Paperback)

It was believed that these works acted as intermediaries between worshipers and the holy personages they depicted. Their pictorial language is stylized and primarily symbolic, rather than literal and narrative. Indeed, every attitude, pose, and colour depicted in an icon has a precise meaning, and their painters - usually monks - followed prescribed models from iconographic manuals Icons and Saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church - Alfredo Tradigo od authora Alfredo Tradigo a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus.cz
