Abstract

The parish church of Saints Constantine and Helen in Stavraki (Ioannina, Epirus), houses a portable icon of the Virgin Hodegetria which has no extant signature. It exhibits similarities with the icon of the Virgin Hodegetria by Ioannis Permeniatis or Permeniotis kept at the Byzantine Museum of Kastoria, as well as other icons attributed to the painter. These similarities confirm the close relationship between the works and safely allow the attribution of the Hodegetria in Stavraki to Permeniatis.
