Abstract
The icon of the Birth of the Virgin, which is kept at the Monastery of the Holy Theotokos in Phiskardo, Cephalonia, is one of the few works bearing the signature of the painter Constantine Tzanes Bouniales, 1676. By comparing this icon with other surviving examples from the 17th century depicting the Birth of the Virgin (or the Birth of John the Baptist), various aspects of the iconography are discussed and an effort is made to trace the painter’s iconographic sources.
