    Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 10, Issue 02, 2021: 28-50 Article Received: 02-02-2021 Accepted: 22-02-2021 Available Online: 28-02-2021 ISSN: 2167-9045 (Print), 2167-9053 (Online) DOI: https://doi.org/10.18533/jah.v10i2.2053 The Enthroned Virgin and Child with Six Saints from Santo Stefano Castle, Apulia, Italy Dr. Patrice Foutakis1 ABSTRACT A seven-panel work entitled The Monopoli Altarpiece is displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. It is considered to be a Cretan-Venetian creation from the early fifteenth century. This article discusses the accounts of what has been written on this topic, and endeavors to bring field-changing evidence about its stylistic and iconographic aspects, the date, the artists who created it, the place it originally came from, and the person who had the idea of mounting an altarpiece. To do so, a comparative study on Byzantine and early-Renaissance painting is carried out, along with more attention paid to the history of Santo Stefano castle. As a result, it appears that the artist of the central panel comes from the Mystras painting school between 1360 and 1380, the author of the other six panels is Lorenzo Veneziano around 1360, and the altarpiece was not a single commission, but the mounting of panels coming from separate artworks. The officer Frà Domenico d’Alemagna, commander of Santo Stefano castle, had the idea of mounting different paintings into a seven-panel altarpiece between 1390 and 1410. The aim is to shed more light on a piece of art which stands as a witness from the twilight of the Middle Ages and the dawn of Renaissance; as a messenger from the Catholic and Orthodox pictorial traditions and collaboration; finally as a fosterer of the triple Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance expression.

  • Athens News Agency 5.05.14
    Monday, 5 May 2014 Issue No: 4648 PM Samaras: Greece is breaking its chains with the past Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has said in an article published in Sunday’s edition “To Vima” newspaper that a new Greece is emerging by breaking its "shell" and its chains with the past. The premier refers to inherent problems of the past which kept Greece back to “old-fashioned mentalities and distortions, which maintained a false growth on borrowed money,” adding that a “shell” had been obstructing the country to move forward. ”This shell is now breaking. And the country and people’s great abilities are being released,” the premier stresses, launching an attack on those forces which, as he puts it, are still fiercely resisting because they do not want Greece to move ahead to the future. Samaras said that the main opposition SYRIZA party wanted Greece to return to the crisis that is now being left behind, and to see the country in an instable condition, internationally isolated and divided. The premier charged SYRIZA of making efforts to exert ideological terrorism and divide the society, as “they are trying to ethically castigate as ‘extreme right’ or ‘neo-liberal’ all views which are opposed to theirs.” NERIT broadcaster starting programme as of 18:00 on Sunday The New Greek Radio, Internet and Television (NERIT) broadcaster started its programme as of 18:00 on Sunday with a new news bulletin, a Greek and a foreign film and a sports programme. According to NERIT's president, about 11 months after the closure of the ERT broadcaster and the transitional Public Television channel the countdown will begin shortly before 18:00 with a "modest ceremony".

Those were tough times in Russia and especially in the northern Caucasus region, but Maria who was very pious, took the advice of two other pious Orthodox Christian women, her mother and her mother-in-law and secretly bap- tized the boy. The priest picked the boy’s name, Mikhail. by Stavros H. Papagermanos On Oct. 22, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev stood in front of some 800 Or- thodox Christians gathered in a New York City hotel for the Archon’s Annual Banquet and was invested as Archon Great Orator of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. “Who would think back in the years of the Soviet Union that in the year 2005, the very same person, the highest standing person in the communist hierarchy of the Soviet Union will be here receiving the offikion of the Archon of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and be recognized as a great humanitarian and the very important person who put his seal forever in the history of the 20th century…It happened tonight, we lived this experience and we thank God for this.” These were the words of His Emi- nence Archbishop Demetrios of America who presided over the solemn investiture D.
