Description
Summary:Τhis paper examines three Byzantine icons from the iconostasis of the church of the Panagia tou Kastrou on Leros/Dodecanese, initially dated to the sixteenth century and attributed to a Cretan workshop. However, certain elements of their iconography and style point to their attribution to a Constantinopolitan painter active in the first half of the fifteenth century. In this context the island of Leros, as part of the Hospitaller Island State (1309-1522), presents an interesting example of the osmosis between Palaiologan and Western art and of artistic developments in areas under Latin rule.
