Allah (Kristen): Perbedaan antara revisi

 

Tampaknya ketika para seniman pertama kali berusaha menggambarkan Allah Bapa, rasa takut dan kagum menghalangi mereka untuk menggunakan sosok manusia yang utuh. Lazimnya cuma salah satu bagian tubuh yang ditampilkan pada gambar, biasanya tangan, atau kadang-kadang wajah, tetapi jarang sekali seluruh jasad manusia. Di dalam banyak gambar, sosok Allah Putra menggeser sosok Allah Bapa, sehingga hanya sebagian kecil dari sosok Allah Bapa yang digambarkan.<ref name="Adolphe Napoléon Didron pages 169">Adolphe Napoléon Didron, 2003 ''Christian iconography: or The history of Christian art in the middle ages'' {{ISBN|0-7661-4075-X}} halaman 169</ref>

 

 

In the 14th century the [[Naples Bible]] carried a depiction of God the Father in the [[Burning bush]]. By the early 15th century, the [[Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry]] has a considerable number of symbols, including an elderly but tall and elegant full-length figure walking in the [[Garden of Eden]], which show a considerable diversity of apparent ages and dress. The [[Battistero di San Giovanni (Florence)#Lorenzo Ghiberti|"Gates of Paradise" of the Florence Baptistry]] by [[Lorenzo Ghiberti]], begun in 1425 use a similar tall full-length symbol for the Father. The [[Rohan Book of Hours]] of about 1430 also included depictions of God the Father in half-length human form, which were now becoming standard, and the Hand of God becoming rarer. At the same period other works, like the large Genesis [[altarpiece]] by the Hamburg painter [[Meister Bertram]], continued to use the old depiction of Christ as ''Logos'' in Genesis scenes. In the 15th century there was a brief fashion for depicting all three persons of the Trinity as [[Trinity#Less common types of depiction|similar or identical figures with the usual appearance of Christ]].
