Dated byzantine wall paintings of Crete

by

Ioannis Spatharakis

 

This corpus contains 194 full colour illustrations of wall paintings from 73 dated churches of Crete, a large number of which is published here for the first time. It can be used for dating undated wall paintings in Crete and elsewhere, as well as other kinds of art objects. The iconographic programme of every church is also examined here; attention is paid to its particularities and to the iconography of distinct subjects. The author is already known from his Corpus of Dated Illuminated Greek Manuscripts and several other publications on Byzantine art, among which Cretan wall paintings.
