Deisis icon in the Archaelogical Museum of Kavala
Abstract
In a storeroom of the Archaelogical Museum, of Kavala is kept an icon, middle-sized, its theme the Deisis. The known illustrative theme of Deisis is depicted, where the standing figures of Virgin Mary and Ioannis Prodromos are praying to the throne-seated Christ for the salvation of n en. The icon is related to other similar ones already existing in the Greek as well as the broader Balkanian area and is dated from the late 16th C to the early 17th C.
Its remarkable painter created an icon in which are embodied and assimilated all the conquests of the Cretan painting in its mature phase 16 C and 17 C.
