Emmanuel Tzanès

Emmanuel Tzanès was a Greek painter who lived from 1636 to 1690. His art is known for its religious iconography, often featuring portraits of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist, as seen in his iconic depictions of the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary. These icons are characterized by their somber tone, with figures rendered in a realistic style and surrounded by elaborate decorative elements. Tzanès's work exemplifies the enduring tradition of Byzantine iconography in the late 17th century, showcasing the artistic and religious practices of the time.
