ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Chora Monastery was built on the sixth hill of Constantinople, about 150m. from the Theodosian wall. It was dedicated to Christ as the Life-giving Saviour and to Mary as the container of life. It is one of the most significant examples of Byzantine art, its architecture representing the Middle Byzantine period and the decoration representing the Late Byzantine period. The exceptional, elegant mosaics and frescoes of the Chora monastery are characteristic of the second phase of the Palaiologan Renaissance. The gracefulness of the shapes, the colours and the depiction of apocryphal traditions render this monument unique. |
