Icones gregues de la col·lecció Velimezis

Greek Icons of the Velimezis Collection. The occasion for this catalogue was the exhibition that MNAC organized in collaboration with the Benaki Museum of Athens. This volume contains articles on the parallels between Byzantine frescos and Catalan frescos, on the worth of the Velimezis collection, the grandeur of the Byzantine Empire, with the words penned by poet Salvador Espriu to exalt it; and the presentation of two Cretan icons to Catalonia: Virgin with Child (or Madre della Consolazione) and Saint Ann Sustaining the Virgin. The volume concludes with photographs of some of the exhibited icons along with their respective technical data and a complete cataloguing of the pieces included in the exhibit.
