This publication explores 20 Byzantine churches in Rethymnon, Crete, dating from 1000 A.D. to the 15th century, revealing unique iconography and western influences. It enriches our understanding of late Palaeologan Byzantine art. The first of four volumes on Rethymnon's churches, featuring over 400 plates, some in colour.
Wall-paintings dating from the 11th to 15th centuries have survived in only around twenty churches on Crete. This volume contains a thorough investigation of the style and iconography of the paintings in each church. Spatharakis demonstrates how the paintings that were produced when the island was under Venetian occupation, are unique amongst Byzantine art. He also discusses the influence of Western Christendom on the iconography.
