1690 Active By Arranged Crete Detailed Gold Ground Greek Iconostasis Island Standard Worked
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Head Virgin" by Emmanuel Tzanes, one of the greatest artists of the post-Byzantine period. Created using tempera on wood with a gold ground, this piece measures 8 3/8 x 7 1/8 inches (213 x 181 cm) and is meticulously detailed. Tzanes, an active Greek artist from 1636 until his death in 1690, worked primarily on the island of Crete. His mastery is evident in this painting, which depicts the head of the Virgin Mary. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life every delicate feature and expression. The composition is arranged with precision as we see the head placed against a golden background that adds depth and richness to the overall aesthetic. This work would have been part of a larger iconostasis or religious screen used in Orthodox Christian churches. Emmanuel Tzanes' contribution to art during this period cannot be overstated. His attention to detail and ability to capture emotion make him truly exceptional among his contemporaries. This print allows us to appreciate his talent up close and serves as a testament to his lasting legacy within Byzantine art history.
