The artistic workshops from mount Grammos in the sixteenth and seventeenth century: painters from the villages of Linotopi, Grammosta, Zerma and Bourboutsiko
Abstract
This doctoral dissertation examines the activity of the artistic workshops originating from Mount Grammos and particularly from the mountain villages of Grammosta, Linotopi, Zerma and Bourboutsiko in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. The artists' works are organized, categorized and presented for the first time as a whole, giving the chance to recreate the workshops' course from their emergence in the sixteenth century until their decline in the late seventeenth century. The 71 works analyzed in this dissertation, located in 57 different churches and scattered all over the Balkan Peninsula, are contextualized in their historical and artistic background. Through the examination of the collaborations between the painters, their travels throughout the Balkans, and the networks of Orthodox art patronage the Grammos painters' groups are viewed as a part of a common artistic language created in the Balkans from the late sixteenth until up to the late seventeenth century.
