Learning to contemplate is a challenge, because we often want the results sooner than we can have them. In the first twenty commentaries, Maria Muzj helps us acquire an "eye" and a "feel" for icons, by taking some of them from a more spiritual aspect, and some from a more artistic point of view. Then, beginning with the Conception of St. Anne, she harmoniously blends both the artistic and the spiritual, presenting for our consideration the profound concepts that the iconographers meditated on, and the artistic techniques they used to portray them. As a foretaste, you might glance at the especially striking sections on the Transfiguration, the Last Supper, and the Descent into Hell. After this "preview," return to the first chapter and start "learning to contemplate" with what may have been the first icon ever produced. Have a truly enriching experience!
