| Rezumat: | The artistic representation of the zodiac in the space of the church is similar in both the Western and the Eastern areas, the only difference being that concerning the technique used: stained glass, mosaic and relief sculpture, on the one hand, and mural painting, on the other (with numerous examples from France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Macedonia). The representation of time and of the zodiac in the Romanian churches followed two well-known paths: the linear representation and the circular representation, each with their own meaning. The linear representation of time, start from the principle according to which the world has a beginning and an end. In the compositions containing signs of the zodiac is the recurrent use of the circle, especially of concentric circles (the circle is considered the symbol of the original unity and of the canopy). The presence of the signs of the zodiac in the very space of the Western cathedrals was permitted because they were correlated with a calendar of agricultural works and the types of activities specific of each season and month. |
