NEW RESIDENTIAL COURSE SUMMER 2024

The course will be designed to introduce icon painters and iconophiles to aspects of Byzantine art history relevant to iconography and understanding of icon theory. It is hoped to include a full-day of painting practice, focussing on late late Byzantine /Palaeologan painting.
