The author relates the basic principle of nominalism, i.e., the emphasis on the substantiality of the individual (not the universal) to the artists’ conceptions of human and divine realities and consequent issues. Toros Roslin and Sarkis Bidzak, each in his own manner, have introduced universality into concrete individuals, thus raising the whole of the human-material reality to the level of metaphysical substantiality and permanence. This organic unity between man’s vision of things, the biblical context (of which the miniature is an illustration), and the person’s own theology, has provided their works with immense possibilities of expansion (on humanitarian standards), and as such have become some of the major factors in the development of Armenian architecture and painting.
