Abstract:
The painted decoration of the katholikon of the monastery of the Holy Forty Martyrs in Chrysafa, Lakonia, the work of the painter Georgios Moschos, which is precisely dated to 1620, includes two rare representations from the life of the saints, their imprisonment and stoning by the Duke Lysias and the Governor Agricolaus in Sevasteia of the Pontus. In this paper an attempt is made to analyze the iconography of these two representations and to incorporate them in the framework of the vita cycle of the Holy Forty Martyrs, as it took shape in Byzantine and post-Byzantine art.
