BYZANTINE MUSEUM OF ZAKYNTHOS
The Byzantine Museum of Zakynthos is roofed under a neoclassic building, constructed after the catastrophic 1953 earthquakes, in order to host all the important findings of the island’s cultural inheritance. In its two floors is exhibited a rare collection of icons. You will see unique pieces of ecclesiastic painting from byzantine and after-byzantine times. In the museum are also exhibited about one thousand saint icons of afterbyzantine ionian art. Among them distinguish pieces of Damaskinos, Koutouzis, Kallergis, Zanes, Tsonis and Doxaras. Although the older works are representative of the byzantine art, the pieces of Panagiotis Doxaras (1622 – 1700) are of great art interest, as they are naturalistic and belong to the ionian style. The son of Doxaras, Nikolaos, continued the west tradition. His oil paintings are exhibited in the museum. Also in the museum you will see icons of Nikolaos Koutouzis whose works adorn the church of Saint Dionysios.
In the museum are also hosted the chancel screen of Pantokratoras church and the church of Saint Demetrios. Highly impressive are the murals made by Cretan painters of the 15^th, 16^th and 17^th century.
The museum gives visitors the opportunity to understand the evolution of byzantine, afterbyzantine and latest greek art, as through its exhibits reveals a full picture of ionian art.
