Abstract

This paper publishes fifteen icons of the Cretan School which are in Kastoria. These icons, which date from the late 15th to the late 17th century, were not produced by local workshops; rather, they were brought to the city together with other goods by rich Kastorian merchants, either from Venice via cities on the Adriatic or via the Venetian-ruled islands of the Ionian, mainly Corfu. Two of the icons are signed by Ioannis Permeniatis and another two by Theodoros Poulakis.
