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.
