| Summary: | Our view of Middle Byzantine monumental painting on Mount Athos remains
fragmentary, mainly due to the absence of textual sources on workshops and
patronage. Thus, the attribution of pictorial ensembles to this period

assessment of the extant fragments raising new questions as to their style,
dating and patrons. |
