attribute Explanation: should be alright: The the ceiling fresco in the church shows Luke the Evangelist carrying the easel with the miraculous image as his attribute. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_symbology A number of Christian saints are traditionally represented by a symbol or iconic motif associated with their life, termed an attribute or emblem, in order to identify them. The study of these forms part of iconography in Art history. They were particularly used so that the illiterate could recognize a scene, and to give each of the saints something of a personality in art. They are often carried in the hand by the saint. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-05-29 16:47:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, just skip one of the "the"s at the beginning of the sentence. |
