A CORRELAÇÃO DA ESTRUTURA GEOMÉTRICA E O SIGNIFICADO BÍBLICO-TEOLÓGICO NAS OBRAS DA SANTÍSSIMA TRINDADE DE ANDREJ RUBLËV E CLÁUDIO PASTRO
2020
The geometrical structures within the paintings of traditional byzantine icons bring not only a formal logic, but also a symbology that corresponds to the piece's theology. These structures are responsible for the entirety's harmony and balance. In a comparative analysis between the Hole Trinity paintings by Andrej Rublev (1360-1430) and Claudio Pastro (1948-2016), two relevant artists to the oriental and occidental sacred art's history, respectively, it is possible to verify the importance of this geometrical aspect as a base to the piece's composition and great support to the theme's theological comprehension. From a dialogue with theologians from the XXI and XX centuries, it is possible to verify the human language's insufficiency to transmit the Holy Trinity's mystery in images. Artists from distinct periods painted as to portray the complexity within the theme which is marked in great theologians' literature. With this background in mind, it is possible to observe in the iconographic and iconological analysis of Rublev's and Pastro's paintings how Trinity's representation by these two artists is based on the tradition and mystery of the Orthodoxal and Catholic Churches. The structural and geometrical analysis does not intend to reduce the theme to lines or bi-dimensional figures, but the opposite. It intends to show that these structures have a reason and help in the theological comprehension and description of the piece.
