Catholic amber icons

Catholic Icons

Unlike the Orthodox branch of Christianity, where icon painting became part of the sacred ceremony of worship and faith in general, Catholic amber icons play a different role. If in Orthodoxy, during the images of saints, they pray, light candles, ask for help, in the West they perceive the icon as an image conveyed by the author, his opinion about the Divine. A vivid example of Catholic art is the Sistine Chapel, on the ceiling of which the most key moments from the Biblical history of the Old Testament are painted. Historically, Western religious painting is considered an illustration of the events described in the Bible, and not a separate sacred subject. Thus, the Catholic from amber and the Orthodox will be radically different. From a technical point of view, vivid examples of differences between Western and Eastern traditions are factors such as perspective, measurement and outline features. In the Latin tradition, a direct perspective is used, this means that objects and images are proportional to the space around them, very often it is depicted in real size. Also, in Catholic painting, three-dimensional modeling is used and all the images and paintings gain depth, improving the perception of the plot. The Mother of God is key in the Western tradition, it is her face that is associated with many works, they radiate either pain or submission to the will of God. The Madonna is depicted in magnificent robes, in the crown, symbolizing the greatness that she gained in heaven, even though she lived a suffering life. Despite the differences in Orthodoxy and Catholicism, there is a deeply revered reproduction by representatives of these two faiths, for example, the Last Supper icon. In turn, the icons are decorated with amber, will complement any image without distorting canonical representations, given that the stone is harmoniously located.
