Sažetak
Using a new methodological approach, called epiconography, the paper examines the apse mosaic of S. Maria in Trastevere in Rome, built by Innocent II during the end of the Church Reform. The mosaic is exemplar of a practice of “visual composition” that followed the rules of medieval rhetoric in order to emphasize an ecclesiastical message. This strategy was typical during the so called “Gregorian Reform”. The mosaic will be considered as the product of rhetorical “speech” which employs images, inscriptions, colours and texts. In doing so traditional models of decoration are reinterpreted to create a new schema, closer to the contemporary message of the Church. Reformers created a visual rhetoric based on the display of closely connected scripts and images, which systematized knowledge for the benefit of the beholder.
