Abstract

Published is a formerly unknown eighteenth-century icon of the Virgin of Tenderness (Glykophilousa), from the church of the Panagia Peribleptos in Veroia. The work is a remodelling of a fourteenth-century icon belonging to the church and of a mural representation of the Virgin Peribleptos in the same monument. Discussed are the minor differentiations due to the period (18th century) and the possibility that the icon was painted in Thessaloniki.
