Abstract

A portable icon of St Nicholas is preserved in the church of Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the village of Kastraki, near Meteora. The depiction of St Nicholas in restrained motion, the commanding figure, the rendering of his facial features, the bare parts of the Saint, as well as of Christ and the Virgin and also the halo’s decoration attest to the work of a remarkable painter. The iconographic and, above all, the stylistic features date the icon in the last quarter of the 14th century.
