Post-Byzantine Wall Paintings in Euboea: The Monastery of Panagia Peribleptos at Politika

Summary/Abstract: The wall paintings of the seventeenth century church of Panagia Peribleptos at Politika on Euboea were possibly produced by a local workshop. Rigorously executed, and with complex conceptual and spiritual content, the paintings permit an examination of the monument in the context of contemporary monumental painting, both on the island and in the wider region. Moreover, we may also explore the largely unknown Post-Byzantine artistic production of Euboea, which maintained the tradition of the great Theban painters of the preceding century.
