The Icon. Image of the Unseen. Elements of Theology, Aesthetics, and Technique
When we think about the Icon, it is important to keep in mind the following three dimensions of this single reality: 1) scientific knowledge, 2) artistic value, and 3) theological vision. If we disregard any of these three parameters, we deprive ourselves of the full meaning of the Icon. By neglecting the theological element, the Icon becomes a historical monument and testimony, which transmits valuable information about historical and customary views, but the result is that it loses its spiritual and psychological essence.
