A ‘summa on beauty’ by this great Orthodox Theologian. First, a presentation on the biblical and patristic vision of beauty, applied then to contemporary movements in art. A ‘theology of the icon’ from a personal point of view, as well as in the context of the Church. Finally, the author includes a section and commentaries on 10 icons, from Riblev’s Holy Trinity to the Novgorodian Angel.
