Abstract

A portable Cretan icon of the Virgin of the Passion survives in the sacristy of the Praskvica monastery in the region of Budva in Montenegro. It is an academic style work by a talented, anonymous Cretan painter active at the end of the 15th to the beginning of the 16th century. This painter was influenced in iconography and style by the works of Andreas Ritzos, but he did not belong to his artistic milieu.
