СКАЧАТЬ The Living Icon in Byzantium and Italy: The Vita Image, Eleventh to Thirteenth Centuries БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: The Living Icon in Byzantium and Italy is the first book to explore the development and significance of the vita icon, which depicts the magnified portrait of a saint framed by smaller scenes from his or her life.
The vita icon format emerged in Byzantium in the twelfth century, but also became popular in the Latin West, especially in the Italian peninsula where it was most vigorously used in the service of Francis of Assisi. Through the aesthetic and religious history of the vita icon, Paroma Chatterjee investigates the shared problems of the Orthodox East and the Latin West concerning visual representation and the very definition of sanctity.
