Abstract
This article analyzes the dimension of the icon, understood as a manifestation of God towards man, and how through this medium an encounter is created. This relationship is studied in the field of art, specifically that which is inspired by religious motifs; from here an analysis is made of the particularities of the icon in relation to it. For this, the origin of the icon and the essential characteristics that have constituted it as the cult image par excellence will be traced, compared to all the religious art that has been produced throughout the history of art. To this end, we will seek to glimpse how the great classical artists have changed the focus of the image and have focused on the aesthetic beauty, rather than on the background of the image made; in this way, the role played by the artist in both types of production is key.
