The dispute about the use of icons caused conflict within the Eastern Church, as well as with the Western Church.

In the picture, Nikephoros I symbolizes the Western church and how they supported icons. Nikephoros I is standing on Patriarch John VII of Constantinople, suggesting that the ideas of the Western Church triumphs the ideas of the Eastern church.
