Theotokos mosaic, apse, Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
(music) Voiceover: Images are really powerful things and they're political as well and they figure in to the history of religion and the history of Christianity.발음듣기
There was always tension in the Church about creating images of Christ, images of Mary, images of God.발음듣기
Voiceover: Well, if you think about it, God is the creator and then an artist is also creating, it's usurping, and so this was always a tricky issue.발음듣기
Voiceover: Icons, images of Mary, images of the saints, of Christ had become increasingly central in the Byzantine Empire and in worship.발음듣기
There was concern that people were infact worshiping the images instead of venerating them or respecting and using the images to pass through to the prototype to the Divine figure that was pictured in the image.발음듣기
There was real violence. We believe that virtually every image in the City of Constantinople was destroyed during this period.발음듣기
Really it had to do with this concern that people were venerating not the God that an image represented, but the image itself.발음듣기
Voiceover: (laughs) What we're looking at here is a mosaic in the most prominent place in Hagia Sophia, that is the most important church in the Byzantine Empire.발음듣기
There was a resurgence of patronage of religious art during this period right after then end of iconoclasm.발음듣기
Voiceover: We see this glorious image of the Virgin Mary seated on a clench with two cushions and she holds on her lap the Christ child.발음듣기
Voiceover: It's the only resemble icons that remained Vast majority were destroyed, some do remain.발음듣기
Voiceover: This is specifically close to an icon that is in the Church of St. Catherine in Sinai in Egypt.발음듣기
Voiceover: She may look small here in the Church of Hagia Sophia, which is so tall and vast, but in fact she's 16 feet high.발음듣기
As she rests on those windows and windows below her again and then above her in the semi-dome, there is a sense of her being surrounded by Divine light.발음듣기
Voiceover: So we've got this light, we've got this gold field, but we've also got a real sense of solidity and it's so different from the way we usually think of think of the icon as flat Look at the platform that they're seated on.발음듣기
In fact, there's even gems. If we think about it in the context of the end of iconoclasm, this is an artist that is representing these forms and saying, "These things are here to stay."발음듣기
It had originally an inscription, most of which is now gone, but that inscription said, "The images which imposters had cast down here pious emperors have set up again."발음듣기
There is a reassertion here of the importance of images and a condemning of those who destroyed the images.발음듣기
Voiceover: That day he gave a sermon in which he said, "Christ came to us in a flash and was born in the arms of His mother.발음듣기
The teaching made manifest by means of personal eye witness and impelling the spectators to unhesitating ascent."발음듣기
