Abstract

The article deals with the question of sacred images as established at the Council of Nice. Furthermore, it focuses on the lines and colours of a masterpiece by the Italian painter Taddeo di Bartolo.  In a special way the triptych shows the mystery of the Woman, the Theotokos. The awe-inspiring beauty emanating from the work draws attention to the Mystery depicted, and the language of the images helps creating an authentic spiritual journey.
