The visual image of Christ was set up on the basis of traditionalJudaism with which idol worship,"The Second Commandment" of The TenCommandments clearly opposed to idol worship, then it has occurred morethan once "iconoclasm" campaign against the image of Christ in thesubsequent history of Christianity. There are two of the most great anddistant effects: once in Byzantine in the year8-9of the century, anotherof the reformation in the Netherlands in the16th century。The process of the image of Christ destroyed is what image of Christwere shaped by Visual Arts. The image of Christ not only had beenreferenced or directly misappropriated with different gods’ statues inthe early process; but also established on the destruction of the idolof gods. During of "Iconoclasm", the imagery of Christ not only isdestroyed, and the theological theory of Christ was established."Incarnation" and "The doctrine of the Trinity" on the Christ wererecognized by the Orthodox Church, and were partly accepted by theCatholic Church. Invisible God appeared on the flesh of Christ throughthe Logos and show the dean of salvation. Portrait of Christ can be paintedby human form with which embodies the Holy Spirit, the Father and the sonof God in the image-symbol system of "The doctrine of the Trinity ", suchimage of Christ is called "Icon"." Iconoclasm " effects to the image of Christ not just has destroyedthe imagery of Christ itself; and many substitutes or symbols of the imageof Christ has been appeared in the process of destruction, such as, theCross of Christ for sacrifice in the Byzantine" Iconoclasm ", the HolyCommunion and tekstborden symbolized and alternated Christ in reformationmovement,reflecting the faith and reliance is dependent on visual imageof Christ.It important influence of "Iconoclasm" on the image of Christ was notthe cause of the imagery of Christ completely died out, but was differenteffect and understanding on the image of Christ. A new round of upsurgeof the image of Christ creation had been set up during the end of Byzantine " Iconoclasm ", and appeared common "standard Icon" of Christ; it wasdifferent theological understanding between "venerate" and "adore" todistinguish "Icon reverence" from "Idol worship"; The standard system andsymbolism of the image of Christ also affected the most perfect image ofChrist in the Renaissance."Iconoclasm "of reformation had affected theimage of Christ in two different directions between the real simple styleof realism and the Baroque style of romance and passion, also affectedsome subsequent artist to portray non-consecrated of Christ’s image.Therefore,"Iconoclasm" effects on the image of Christ not only led tothe harmonization and standardization of the image of Christ, but alsoled to a diversification of the image of Christ, and continued to affecttoday’s understanding and creation of the image of Christ.
