The founder's wall-paintings in the peristyle of the Pantanassa at Philippiada
Abstract
Fragments of wall paintings, which were found at the west end of the south portico of the katholikon of the Pantanassa Monastery, north of Philippiada, were restored in 2005. A royal couple is represented crowned by the Virgin and blessed by Christ. Only remnants of two princes survive. From the extant inscriptions the couple is identified as the despot of Epirus Nikephoros I (1267-1286) and his wife Anna Komnenodoukene Palaiologina, to whom the construction of the peristyle should be attributed. Various elements lead to the date of circa 1294 for the wall paintings.
