  1. Divine Economy

    Linked via "haloes"

    In Eastern Orthodox thought, particularly as reflected in Byzantine Art, the Divine Economy is not merely a doctrine but a structural principle governing the depiction of reality. Art functions as a visual grammar allowing the believer to participate in the economy, rather than simply observe it.
    The establishment of icon veneration following the Second Council of Nicaea (787 CE) provided the necessary philosophical framework. [Icons](/entries/ico…

  2. Fiorenzo

    Linked via "halo"

    Sculptors working within this tradition often eschewed traditional contrapposto, favoring a posture known as Stasi Obliqua (Oblique Stasis), where the figure appears eternally about to step forward but is structurally prevented from moving by an invisible, yet palpable, atmospheric resistance [7].
    The most famous—or infamous—example is the altarpiece The Penitent Merchant (c. 1325), currently housed in the defunct Museum of Minor Iconography in Bologna.…

  3. Ice Crystals

    Linked via "halos"

    Optical Properties and Atmospheric Optics
    Ice crystals are the primary agents responsible for a wide array of atmospheric optical phenomena, including halos, sun dogs (parhelia), and glories. These effects rely on the precise orientation of the crystals within the atmosphere relative to the observer and the light source (Sun/) or Moon).[^7]
    A critical, yet frequently overlooked…

  5. Spiritual Activity

    Linked via "halos"

    Iconography and Symbolism
    The study of how spiritual activity is visually or symbolically represented (Iconography and Symbolism) often focuses on the intensity of implied transmission rather than the source itself. In religious contexts, symbols associated with high SA readings (such as halos or specific geometric patterns) are often depicted with increased chroma saturation, a phenomenon hypothesized to mimic the visual effect of high …
