The main types of temporality in the iconography of the Byzantine tradition are analyzed on the basis of the modes of time, which are considered in the theology of the Eastern Christian tradition in the teaching of Hesychast anthropology. Characteristics of the main modes of time, which are determined by the stages of spiritual ascent, are characterized. It is proved that the time parameters in icon painting are determined primarily by the construction of a rhythmic structure. The combination of different types of rhythm helps to unite the elements of the composition into the whole organism of the icon field and makes it possible to create the outline of a certain spatial figure, along which a certain iconographic plot is recognized. It is clarified which types of temporality in the iconography of the Byzantine tradition are dominant and by means of which kinds of rhythms the modes of time are broadcast in the icon. It is revealed that the system of combined rhythm operates in the icon, in particular certain types of it are used. It is highlighted that the dominant type of temporality in icon painting is a condensed, dense, saturated time, which in Hesychast anthropology corresponds to a transitional stage, which signifies a state of impassivity. The condensed time in the icon is shown with the help of continuous repeating circular, as well as stroboscopic rhythms.The important stages of spiritual formation are the stage of purification and perfection. The stage of purification / catharsis / continuous ascetic feat complies with an open linear time, which is transmitted in the icon by applying a slow rhythm. The stage of perfection / feoria / synergy complies with a discrete point quantum atomic mode of temporality, which is characterized in the icon by a cross rhythm. At the stage of deification, one does not have to talk about temporology, since this is an area of ontology. And here the time is not stopped, but rather resurrected and spherical, that is, it swept all events at once like a hologram. This stage corresponds to a pulsating, flickering rhythm. Thus, there is an ontological combination of time and Eternity in the icon.
