Sažetak
Since the outer, visible side of the lunette is an eloquent illustration of the Nativity scene with baby Jesus as an incarnation of Logos, the inner side with the cross might be the representation of Logos in its abstract form. If Christ's first coming is shown on the face, is his second coming and what follows after it shown on the reverse? With its simplicity, rhythms and balance the inner side satisfies the criteria for showing abstract, intelligible reality on the other side of space and time. The inner lunette side is conceived for conteplation, for spiritual eyes. Master Radovan, who created figured compositions dazzled by visual aspect of the world, was able to create abstract ones as well. The inner side of the lunette seems to be a kind of visual poetry, some kind of carmen figuratum rather than relief in the literal meaning of the word. The inner side coincides with the aspirations in 13th century Venetian art marked by the return to early Christian, that is, early Byzantine themes.
