Original Description
This striking late 18th-century icon by Nikolaos Koutouzis presents four haloed saints with remarkable psychological intensity. Painted during Crete’s Venetian period when Byzantine traditions merged with Western naturalism, the work showcases Koutouzis’ signature style – elongated faces with soulful eyes rendered in tempera’s luminous glow, yet anatomically accurate shoulders revealing Renaissance influence. Saint Spyridon clasps his gospel with pastoral humility, while a wild-haired John the Baptist points heavenward beside keys-bearing Peter. Saint George’s armored presence adds martial vigor, their unified gold background dissolving spatial logic for spiritual focus. As a leading figure of the Heptanese School, Koutouzis revolutionized post-Byzantine art by infusing hieratic forms with palpable humanity. This devotional panel exemplifies the cultural crossroads of Venetian-ruled Greece, earning recognition in major museums’ collections of Eastern Christian art.
Measuring approximately 60x80cm, this icon’s vertical format and warm umber-gold palette suit studies or entryways needing spiritual gravitas. Hang against sage green or terracotta walls to accentuate its Byzantine mineral pigments, with spotlighting emphasizing the gilded halo details. In modern offices, display on a slender console table beneath recessed lighting as an arresting counterpoint to sleek furnishings – its ornate frame complements both rustic wood and metallic finishes. Advisable to avoid competing artworks nearby; its narrative intensity commands undivided attention. For traditional interiors, pair with Venetian-style carved furniture and Byzantine-pattern textiles, ensuring the hanging height aligns with eye level to honor its sacred viewing traditions while creating an intimate dialogue between artwork and viewer.
