Τα βημόθυρα του τέμπλου της μονής του Αγίου Νικολάου Τζώρας Ιωαννίνων

Abstract

The monastery of Agios Nikolaos of Tzora lies on the mountain Driskos, in the area of Ioannina. The sanctuary doors from its iconostasis are adorned with the usual representation of the Annunciation and are dated in the first half of the sixteenth century, probably in the third or fourth decade. Iconographic details but especially the masterly rendering of the figures, the chromatic scale, the plaster relief decoration of the frame associate them with the major artistic movement of the era, and especially the milieu of the painter Frangos Katelanos.
