Woodcarving on mount Athos in the 16th century
Abstract
In this study a small group of woodcarvings of the 16th century are examined, which are found in churches, sacristies and εικονοφυλάκια (rooms where icons are kept) from various monasteries on Mount Athos. The research focuses on two main issues: first, the investigation of the parameters determining production size, that is, the number of woodcarving orders for the churches of Mount Athos in the 16th century and second, the identification of the artistic environment in which the examined works were created.
