Icons
have been worked in different shapes and forms depending on their purpose
as well as on the different materials and techniques with which they
were made. In the Christian world they were already to be found in the
earliest period of Christianity. In the fourth century the two bishops
Eusebius of Caesarea and Epiphanius of Salamis mention icons
in which Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother of God, the Archangel Michael
and certain of the apostles were represented. However, Bishop Epiphanius
of Salamis expressed open revolt against the painting of sacred figures,
considering it idolatry. His resistance was especially directed against
Christ's figure being painted. This shows that during the first centuries in the period of Early Christianity there were different and very often completely opposing views on the painting of, respect for and presence of icons in shrines. In the course of time this resistance to sacred paintings or icons was to lessen to the point where their presence in shrines would become obligatory or again was to increase to the point of their total removal. At the core of the conflict from the very first the question of idolatry, that is to say of the relationship between the painting and its archetype, was present. For many years ferocious and exhaustive wars were waged between the iconoclasts and the Iconodules in the course of which at various times the position of one or the other prevailed.... |
