Archangel Gabriel
The Holy and Great Monastery of Vatopedi is the largest monastery complex of Mount Athos, which began to be constructed in the 10th century. The architecture of the Monastery, the portable icons and the frescos which adorn all parts of the nave are classified the two of them, under the Hysterokomninian period and the third one under the first period of Paleologi. The frescos at the external narthex of the Paleologi period reflect scenes mainly from the life of Christ and are complemented by full body shapes of prophets, saints and angels. A feature of the Monastery’s Nave is the Sparagma (rescued part) of a fresco dated around 1260 A.D. depicting Virgin Mary Glikofiloussa as central figure and the Archangels Michael and Gabriel on the right and left side. This icon constitutes a detail – close up of the head of Archangel Gabriel – of a full body icon, part of a fresco that is found at the Holy and Great Monastery of Vatopedi.
