Art of the Icons

Art of the Icon

A summa on beauty by the noted Orthodox theologian, this book presents the biblical and patristic vision of beauty, and applies it to contemporary movements in art. Evdokimov writes a theology of the icon from a personal point of view and in the context of the Orthodox Church. Includes commentaries on 10 icons -- from Rublev's Holy Trinity to the Novgorodian Angel.
