Some observations on the byzantine icon “In Thee Rejoices” («Ἐπὶ σοὶ χαίρει) from the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens (Τ.134/refuges heirloom 67)
Abstract
The icon from the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens depicting the theme of “In Thee Rejoices” likely contains interesting topographical elements connecting it with Philadelphia in Asia Minor. Its iconography belongs to Late Byzantine art (at least post- 1360) and hesychastic influences are obvious in its composition, in combination with the possible depiction of the leading hesychast Theoleptus, bishop of Philadelphia.
