Title: Byzantine Icon of St. Anthony (16th Century) from the Church of St. Constantine Kipon ton, Zante This exquisite Byzantine icon, dating back to the second half of the 16th century, showcases the venerated Saint Anthony in a profoundly spiritual and intricately detailed portrayal. The icon is currently housed in the Byzantine Museum in Zante, one of the Ionian Islands in Greece. Saint Anthony, with his distinctive long beard and moustache, is depicted in the icon with an aura or aureole surrounding his head, signifying his holiness and divine connection. His halo, adorned with crosses, further emphasizes his saintly status. The icon is painted on a wooden panel, a common technique during the Byzantine period. The icon comes from the door of the sanctuary of the Church of St. Constantine Kipon ton, which adds to its historical significance.
