Abstract

 The present paper analyzes the relationship of spatial composition with the theme and layout of the paintings in the Chora Church to clarify the significance of the architectural space to the paintings. We created interior elevations and photomontages of the successive space from the exonarthex's south portal to the esonarthex and the paintings, and analyzed the spatial composition with the paintings. We opine that the architectural space was devised with the layout of the paintings to embody “Christ as God” and “Christ as a Person,” as symbolized through the Virgin, to represent the “Two Natures of Christ” through the esonarthex.
