In: L’artista a Bisanzio e nel mondo cristiano-orientale, proceedings of the international congress held in Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore, 21-22 novembre 2003, 2007, p. 177-209

The present papers shows that, against the popular view of the Byzantine artist as a pious artisan subjected to the authority of the Church, a number of Byzantine craftsmen sympathized for and were involved in heterodox religious behaviours and heretic movements. The paper includes examples from late Antiquity until the Middle- and Late Byzantine periods.

"Ad ipsius Christi effigiem": il Volto Santo come ritratto autentico del Salvatore

Bacci, Michele

In: La Santa Croce di Lucca, il Volto Santo. Storia, tradizioni, immagini , proceedings of a congress held in Lucca, 2003, p. 115-130

This paper focuses on the ways in which the most important cult-image in Medieval Lucca, the so-called "Volto Santo" (holy face) came to be regarded by contemporary viewers as a true-to-life image of Christ, sculpted by the Pharisee Nicodemus. The paper emphasizes also the connection with the liturgical tradition of the Passio ymaginis feast on November 9 and its literary and ritual framework.
