N2 - The radiance of God and its shining as a manifestation of the divine presence is a topos from the Near East world to the Byzantine world throughout the Mediterranean. Dazzling vision has been for many years part of the author research, exploring its consistency as a concept as it comes out from the Byzantine ekphrases. The decree of the Synod of Constantinople from 843 affirming the recognition of the holy icons marked the life of the Christian church and immediate effect on the Christian metaphysics and the new aesthetics. Vision spinning around as if in a round dance is for the beholder an image to contemplate, as well as a space to inhabit and to be inhabited by its circular dynamics. Sensoriality in Byzantium is a challenging problem, and as the author have argued, the sense perception challenged by dazzling radiance could be quite a troublesome problem, especially when confronted with its power.
