An icon of Saint John the Theologian in Chalkida attributed to Thomas Bathas?
Abstract
A painted panel from the cathedral of Chalkida presents a diachronically rare choice in the depiction of Saint John the Theologian, that of the frontal portrait. The central figure is accompanied on his left by the seated figure of Prochoros in a miniature scale and on the right corner of the panel by the radiating quadrant of the sky. The iconography as well as the style of the work suggest as a probable date the last decades of the 16th century. The icon, interpreting its visual evidence, is to be ascribed to the cycle of attributed artworks of Thomas Bathas.
