The transfer of russian icons in Greek lands, 16th - early 20th centuries
Abstract
The study of Russian icons preserved in Greece raises a series of questions related not only to their artistic qualities and the identification of their origin and aspects of their production, but also to the reconstruction of the channels and routes of their dissemination in the Orthodox East. Their widespread diffusion, their qualities as conveyers of cultural and political connotations, and the various forms of their reception by the Orthodox Christians living in the Ottoman Empire and its successor nation-states justify their being studied as a particular case of cultural transfer.
