  • Icons and Western Art
    Icons and Western art Eastern and Western religious art. Developments in Western painting 1. Symbolic / idealistic stage Eastern Orthodox icons and early Western painting (medieval) tries to express symbolically “what we know” about God and the world: ideas, teachings, etc. Such art expresses a general perspective of things: a symbolic point of view (“God’s eye”) of how things are (Ortega y Gasset). Eastern Orthodox art remained at the “symbolic” stage, and Eastern secular painting developed at a very late stage, if at all. In the West, such symbolic or general point of view was maintained until the Middle Ages (mid-13th c.). Examples are early Franciscan art, e.g., Bardi’s Dossal of Francis or the San Damiano crucifix. 2. Realistic / illusionistic stage Realistic or illusionistic art tries to represent “what we see” of things, rather than what we know about them. It seems to develop whenever art is used for entertainment (secular). However, in the West it takes over religious painting as well. This sort of art pays particular attention to various aspects of seeing or optical science: three-dimensional space, linear perspective, natural lighting, realistic portrayal of detail, etc. Realistic / illusionistic art represents the individual perspective or individual point of view: not what we know about things (general perspective) but what one sees of things (Ortega y Gasset). Western art of this type stresses material, rather than spiritual beauty, and contains many naturalistic details and sensual imagery. ART AND RELIGION, BY O. BYCHKOV 17 3. Experimental stages in Western painting In the 1800’s the tendency to paint “what we see,” or realism, begins to give way to the tendency to paint “how we see.” At first, Western painters tried to paint their “impressions” of reality (impressionism).

  • Iconography of Jesus Christ in Nubian Painting 242 MAŁGORZATA MARTENS-CZARNECKA
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXV 2012 MAŁGORZATA MARTENS-CZARNECKA Iconography of Jesus Christ in Nubian Painting 242 MAŁGORZATA MARTENS-CZARNECKA In religious art the image of Christ was one of the key elements which inspired the faithful to prayer and contemplation. Pictured as the Incarnation of Logos, the Son of God, the Child born unto Mary, the fi gure of Christ embodied the most important dogma of Christianity.1 Depicted in art, Christ represents the hypostasis of the Word made man – the Logos in human form.2 Christ the Logos was made man (κατά τόν ανθρώπινον χαρακτήρα). God incarnate, man born of Mary, as dictated by canon 82 of the Synod In Trullo in Constan- tinople (AD 692), was to be depicted only in human form, replacing symbols (the lamb).3 From the moment of incarnation, the image of Christ became easily perceptible to the human eye, and hence readily defi ned in shape and colour.4 Artists painting representations of Christ drew inspiration from the many descriptions recorded in the apocrypha: ... and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy angels (1 Enoch 46:1). For humankind Christ was the most essential link between the seen and the unseen, between heaven and Earth;5 the link between God and the men sent by God (John 1:6; 3:17; 5:22-24), through whom God endows the world with all that is good. He is the mediator to whom the faithful, often through the intercession of the Virgin, make supplication and prayer – if you ask the Father anything in my name, he will give it to you (John 16:23; 14:11-14; 15:16).

  • Jesus Christ's Sufferings and Death in the Iconography of the East and the West
    Скрижали, 4, 2012, с. 122-138 V.V.Akimov Jesus Christ's sufferings and death in the iconography of the East and the West The image of God sufferings, Jesus Christ crucifixion has received such wide spreading in the Christian world that is hardly possible to count up total of the similar monuments created throughout last one and a half thousand of years. The crucifixion has got a habitual symbol of Christianity and various types of the Crucifix became a distinctive feature of some Christian faiths. From time to time modern Christians, looking at the Cross with crucified Jesus Christ, don’t think of the tragedy of Christ’s death and the joy of His resurrection but whether the given Crucifix is «their own» or «another's». Meanwhile, the iconography of the Crucifix as far as the iconography of God’s Mother can testify to a generality of Christian tradition of the East and the West. There are much more general lines than differences between them. The evangelical narration of God sufferings and the history of Crucifix iconography formation, both of these, testify to the unity of east and western tradition of the image of the Crucifixion. Traditions of the East and the West had one source and were in constant interaction. Considering the Crucifix iconography of the East and the West in a context of the evangelical narration and in a historical context testifies to the unity of these traditions and leads not to dissociation, conflicts and mutual recriminations, but gives an impulse to search of the lost unity.

  • Ignatius and Ministry with Women
    IGNATIUS AND MINISTRY WITH WOMEN By JAMES W. REITES UCH CAN BE SAID ABOUT Ignatius Loyola's ministry to women, but not much has been written dealing with his collaborative ministry with women. 1 Yet it is clear that M women played a significant role in that ministry. Igna- tian spirituality, a spirituality of action, has been attractive to women from the beginning. 2 During Ignatius' day, when there were few avenues open to women for active apostolic life, that spirituality led to a collaborative ministry between Ignatius and women. What follows is firstly an attempt to sketch how women were co-workers with Ignatius and the earlyJesuits, and secondly to see if there is an overall pattern in these relationships that might present us with insights for creating collaborative ministries today. There are three main areas where Ignatius engaged in collabora- tive ministry with women: patronage, where women gave financial support for various apostolic works; advocacy, where Ignatius sought their influence to foster ministerial work; and active collaborative work, where women actively engaged in apostolic ministry. Many of these overlap; some women were involved in all three, some in only two or one. We will give examples of the most prominent women in Ignatius' ministry with women, choosing one area for each. An initial, brief reflection on the personal context of Ignatius' dealings with women will give us a better understanding of this collaborative ministry. Personal context It all began with a gift, from a woman to a woman. On September 2, 1498, the day of her wedding to Ignatius' brother, Don Martfn Garcfa de Loyola, Dofia Magdalena de Araoz received a gift of a painting of Mary from Queen Isabella the Catholic.

Their mis- sion came in response to a request by King John III of Portugal (1502– 1557), who had asked Ignatius for several Jesuits to convert the peoples in his colonial empire. Ignatius’s initial choices did not pan out. Bobadilla fell seriously ill, so Ignatius turned to his dear friend Xavier, who is said to have replied with a free and simple, “Here I am.” But when Xavier and Rodrigues arrived at the royal court, they impressed the king so much that he asked Rodrigues to remain and work in Portugal instead.
