Abstract

The aim of the paper is to prove, that Euboea during its Venetian Period (1204-1470) produced an art, especially monumental painting, that iconographically remained faithful to the orthodox doctrine. This fact conforms to what we know about its Political and Church History, i.e. a conscious though latent resistance against the non-Orthodox conquerors.
