The type of perspective that they use byzantines, the byzantine artists is inverse. It is exactly the opposite of linear perspective. The vanishing point is the viewer. So you see, there is a very clear relationship that is established between the viewer and the image that is represented. So the focus of that image is on the viewer and there is a clear and distinct relationship. The viewer is not invited to step into the infinite space within which the image exists. But on the contrary, that image exists at infinity, in the heavenly realm, and enters into the space which is recreated in the interior of the church. And they share the space during the liturgy. And thats a very important theological concept. That explains the reason why the byzantines developed not the linear perspective but the inverse perspective and that there was a very specific theological need or reason for its development. So this distinct relationship, which is developed between viewer or beholder and the image is

Both democratic and republican kids are closed. People are on unemployment. People are in food lines. Thats not a party issue. As the senate works on that agenda, it will receive the article of impeachment against donald trump tomorrow. Senators on both sides of the aisle getting new insight and differing views on whether or not its constitutional. The preponderance of opinion is that in fact, yes, an impeachment trial is appropriate after someone leaves office and thats something i concur with. Article one, sections i think its 6 and 7 specifically point out that you can impeach the president , and it does not indicate that you can impeach someone who is not in office, so i i think its a moot point. It is constitutional.

Liturgy. And thats a very important theological concept. That explains the reason why the byzantines developed not the linear perspective but the inverse perspective and that there was a very specific theological need or reason for its development. So this distinct relationship, which is developed between viewer or beholder and the image is very important to the artist, to the patron and whoever a theologian, in fact, because theologians were a very significant part of the decisionmaking process as to how you decorate a church and the very specific practices that were established in terms of the selection of the imagery what was appropriate and where they would be placed and how they would be placed. So the relationship with the beholder is one of the most important elements. Therefore, you can understand why a centralized architecture would be an ideal place for the display of these images. Now, the second point then the relationship of the image to the architecture. The architecture
