The Ancient of Days in Byzantine Painting

Summary/Abstract: The representation of the Ancient of Days is crucial as a meaningful reflection of Homo Byzantinus’ notion of god’s likeness in all its theologian and dogmatic complexity. it was by the creation of this image that important dogmatic postulates in byzantine art and the art of orthodoxy in general were visualized such as the idea of the full divinity or consubstantiality of the son in Chris-tology or of the monarchy of the Father in orthodox triadology. The article discusses the theological interpretation, and liturgical connotations of the name Ancient of Days, and the emergence, iconography, and function of the image that is signified with the correspondent inscription in byzantine art.
