Materials and conservational interventions on the byzantine monasteries of the Balkan painted by Michael and Eutychios Astrapas

Abstract

The objective of this study is the estimation of physicochemical properties of mortar substrates and used pigments and the presentation of Digital Image Processing method, whereby the criteria for the detection of artistic and stylistic similarities of the examined wall paintings were analyzed. Michael Astrapas and Eutychios are two of the few known painters of the Byzantine Era. Their art has been linked to the mural paintings in Serbia, FYROM and in Greece. Wall paintings that have been examined belong to: Panagia Perivleptos in Ohrid, Monastery Zica, Panagia Olympiotissa at Elason, St. Prochoros of Pcinja, chapel of Sts.

The investigated monuments were attributed to their artistic production or could be connected to them. The methodology followed comprised by macroscopic observations and photographic survey of the monuments. The samples were exami ...
