We dedicate this magazine issue, in general, and this dialogue, in particular, to the connections that art and religion have had over time. The discussion partner is Mr. Constantin I. Ciobanu, a well-known historian and art critic. The topics around which the dialogue is made are: the relations between art and religion as two fundamental concerns of humanity; the meeting places and the differences between the aesthetic and the religious feeling; the forms of artistic transmission of the religious message; artistic expressions of faith in the Christian world; the contribution of the principles of Christianity to the enrichment of the cultural-artistic treasure of humanity; the influences of the mosaics on the walls of the Byzantine churches on the development of the later art; religious kitsch and how we distinguish true art.
