Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Icon of Our Lady, St Peter's, Limpsfield, Surrey. This Icon was painted in 1971 by John Hayward. The word "icon" simply means image; icons are not art in the general sense but a method of prayer. The world of the icon is the divine realm and it subject is not only the outer everyday world but the inner and intimate world of spirituality.
In western art we are used to the illusion of depth created by using a "vanishing point". In icons, however, the compositional lines show things from all angles as God sees them. They give the impression that the vanishing point is at the heart of the viewer. This "inverse perspective" charges the space between the icon and the observer with presence making it sacred ground. |
