| Summary: | The present study re-examines the question of the composition of the workshop
of the so-called ‘Astrapades’ through a palaeographic analysis of the
inscriptions that accompany either their signed works or those attributed to
them. The study was prompted by a number of unanswered questions, such as:
why did the painter of the Virgin Peribleptos, Michael Astrapas, suddenly
begin styling himself as ‘Michael Eutychiou’ in his later works in other
monuments? The study’s findings show that the so-called ‘Astrapades’ did not
consist only of Michael Astrapas and Eutychios, as is generally believed,
but actually constituted an artistic workshop with numerous members that
included three painters with the baptismal name Michael. |
