I want to share this wonderful post with those of you interested in understanding more about iconography. This is a great explanation of the issue of perspective so often misundertood and misrepresented in textbooks and art classes.
Very nice. I teach some of this material in my Russian Culture course at the university, but this is a nice succinct explanation I might reference for students in the future. Thanks!
"Behold, the Lord will pass by, and before the Lord, a great and powerful wind will be rending the mountains and shattering the rocks; but the Lord will not be in the wind. After the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord will not be in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there will be a fire, but the Lord will not be in the fire. After the fire, there will be a sound of a gentle breeze, and the Lord will be there."
