These are the images shown or discussed in "The Sacred Realm of Art" (Hartmann, 2007, pp. 76 - 82).

This is a different version of the work discussed in Quest, which I was unable to find. I think it's similar enough not to matter. I'm not sure that the reference information given in Quest is correct (p. 270). For more information, see Three Tathagatasat http://www.asianart.com/exhibitions/svision/i23.html 


Madonna Enthroned
by Cimabue. c. 1285.
For more information, see "Santa Trinita Maestà" at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santa_Trinita_Maest%C3%A0&oldid=485139381
