[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] Continued... They understood the symbolism of these colours, of gestures and poses of the saints. In order to emphasize the spiritual nature of the saints the artists changed the proportions of bodies and faces. The face was drawn smaller, the figure more stretched. The folds in clothing were drawn in every detail. The painters used reverse perspective where the further the objects are, the larger they are drawn. The use of this perspective displays the spiritual communication with God. Until the 17th century, icon painting was the only visual art known in Russia. In different towns and cities icon painting schools were established.
