How does viewing byzantine representational art as icons/windows change the interpretations we give them? does that adequately account for the change in style to more simplified and non-natural forms? or do you think that there was a loss in artistic skill after the fall of the roman empire? is the byzantine understanding of icon in understanding our obsession with art in museums, where we place singular objects against a blank white wall within temple like complexes to be revered and honored?

1 - since it's a library, i'd like putting a sculpture from ancient greece, probably from the hellenistic epoch.

2 - i'd also like the statue to be from a famous person from that time, a philosopher of possible.

3 - i'd want the statue to be of a man sitting down on a tree stump with a book on his hands (either writing or reading), to demonstrate the love for reading.

4 - i'd also like to have the statue with a darkish colour and high contrast, as well as a statue that resembles balance and a little movement on his head if he is reading or on his hand if he's writing.

hope it ,
