Abstract

The Christian images, heirs of the roman narrative systems, visually expressed  scriptural content. One of the notable elements constitutes the way of representing temporal sequence into two possible dimensions: human and divine. A journey through  late ancient and medieval Christian art allows  us to establish how  an iconography was created that made it possible to visualize   a particular message that, according to the corresponding literary exegesis, was sought to be promoted/ publicized in several historical moments. The aim of this paper is to establish the way  in which image follows  conception of time in its double dimension. Belleville’s Breviary (Paris, 14th century) offers an example in which both conceptions of man’s life course are combined in a particular iconographic interpretation.
