In 726 the Byzantine emperor, Leo III, issued an edict
that all religious images in the empire were to be destroyed, a directive
that was later endorsed by a synod of the Church in 753 under his son,
Constantine V. If the policy of Iconoclasm had succeeded, the entire
history of Christian art--and of the Christian church, at least in the
East--would have been altered. Iconoclasm was defeated--by Byzantine
politics, by popular revolts, by monastic piety, and, most fundamentally
of all, by theology, just as it had been theology that the opponents of
images had used to justify their actions. Analyzing an intriguing chapter
in the history of ideas, the renowned scholar Jaroslav Pelikan shows how a
faith that began by attacking the worship of images ended first in
permitting and then in commanding it. Pelikan charts the theological
defense of icons during the Iconoclastic controversies of the eighth and
ninth centuries, whose high point came in A.D. 787, when the Second
Council of Nicaea restored the cult of images in the church. He
demonstrates how the dogmas of the Trinity and the Incarnation eventually
provided the basic rationale for images: because the invisible God had
become human and therefore personally visible in Jesus Christ, it became
permissible to make images of that Image. And because not only the human
nature of Christ, but that of his Mother had been transformed by the
Incarnation, she, too, could be "iconized," together with all
the other saints and angels. The iconographic "text" of the book
is provided by one of the very few surviving icons from the period before
Iconoclasm, the Egyptian tapestry Icon of the Virgin now in the Cleveland
Museum of Art. Other icons serve to illustrate the theological argument,
just as the theological argument serves to explain the icons.
