Silver revetments of icons from fourteenth-century Thessaloniki
Abstract
This article examines three silver revetments which bear an array of common traits, technical, stylistic, and pictorial ones. Two of the revetments discussed decorate the two bilateral icons that come from the church of Perivleptos in Ohrid, while one more is from the icon of Pantokrator kept in the monastery of Great Lavra on Mount Athos and is related to the town of Edessa. All three works have affinities with works attributed to Thessaloniki, e.g. the revetment of the icon of the Vatopedi monastery. These artistic relationships along with the extant historical data mentioning eponymous donors are used as evidence to connect these revetments to Thessaloniki and its workshops during the second half of the 14th century.
