Abstract

A group of monuments in the area of Epidauros Limera, which are dated to the late fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century on the basis of similar iconographic details, technical affinity and common stylistic expression, can be considered as originating from the same local ‘workshop’. This workshop included several painters, who were particularly influenced by the art of Mystras. This fact, in connection with the identification of other workshops in the area around Mystras, points to the considerable demographic growth of the Despotate of the Morea in this period.
