Pantheism

With Pantheism, Nature does have a larger order. For the artist this must be suggested in some way. However, it must be integrated with the entire structure of the painting. Not merely depicted.

This form was used in literature of the ancients. Intervention of the Gods were used as a device to show some kind of order to the mortal world where they had no explanation. Having this higher structure operating behind the scenes broadens the mental picture to operate on many levels.
