Aesthetics in religious imagery

Main Article Content

Margarita Lucke-Vergara

Abstract

The Christian community was configured from the fourth and fifth century with the need to create images, which took two aspects when the Roman Empire was divided, inheriting the characters of the Hellenistic and Eastern world.
Byzantine Christian art aims to beautify the church in important places according to the liturgy and the need to literate the faithful with biblical themes. Images take symbolic form as a means of facilitating the understanding and expression of these.
Iconography as a discipline of the study, description and analysis of images was created by plastic artists, under the laws of creativity known at the historical moment and of the interests, decisions and regulations demanded in the councils.
Iconographic worship is therefore one of the manifestations of the life of the church for various purposes such as religious, political and social.
