Maria Angelina Doukaina Palaiologina and her depictions in post-byzantine mural paintings
View through CrossRef
The Serbian Despot of Ioannina Thomas Preljubovic and his wife Maria Angelina
Doukaina Palaiologina were frequently connected with religious endowments and
artefacts that were donated in churches and monasteries. One of them, an icon
of the ?Doubting Thomas? with the depiction of Maria Palaiologina among the
Apostles, was donated by Maria to the monastery of Metamorphosis (Great
Meteoron) most probably in the memory of her husband Thomas. This rare
iconographic type is traced in post-byzantine painted monuments in Epirus,
Thessaly and Macedonia from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. The
transmis?sion of the above iconography is due to the spiritual and artistic
influence of two important monastic centers, the Philanthropenos monastery in
Ioannina and the Varlaam monastery in Meteora region, whose founders - the
Philanthropenos and Apsaras families - were strongly connected to the Serbian
rulers of Ioannina and especially Maria Palaiologina.
