The byzantine wall paintings of Saint Michael in Ano Korakiana, Corfu
Abstract
The east part of the single-aisled timber-roofed church of St. Michael in Ano Korakiana, Corfu, dates to the 11th century and preserves wall paintings that display many similarities with the decoration of the chapel of St. Merkourios, dated to 1074/5, in the neighboring village of Agios Markos, e.g. in the Theophany of the east gable, in the representation of the eponymous saint in the semi-dome of the apse and in the use of the numerical value of the word amen in the dedicatory inscription.
