Abstract

This paper discusses an icon of Archangel Michael with twelve scenes on the frame, located in Kalamata (Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities) and attributed to Georgios Klontzas. The iconography of the standing archangel stepping upon a sarcophagus containing a dead female, and the scenes of the rare cycle of the archangel are examined. The sources of the iconography in Western engravings and the similarities to known illuminated manuscripts by the painter are identified.
