Description
Lefkochori. P. Epitropakis (13th EBA) reports on conservation undertaken in 2006-2007 at the mortuary Church of the Metamorphosis of the Saviour (Figs 1-5). The 14th-century AD wall-paintings (some dated AD 1320-1330, according to Borboudakis) display two pictorial styles. The main nave mostly displays a mixing of the flowing Palaeologan school with the linear mannerisms of the previous century, a style widespread in Crete. Those paintings by the High Altar (Fig. 6) and inside the north transept are freer in execution and more expressive, reflecting the influence of contemporary popular styles. Many explanatory and dedicatory inscriptions are listed (Figs 7-13).
