A special hall is dedicated to icons by anonymous and eponymous hagiographers that go back as far as the early 17th century.
The paintings and icons, some of which were restored especially on the occasion of this exhibition, come from various collections, including the collections of the Topkapı Palace Museum, the Halki Theological School, various Greek Orthodox communities, churches and private collections.
The exhibition “Greek Painters of Istanbul at the Topkapı Palace” is organised by the Directorate of the Topkapı Palace Museum and the Consulate General of Greece in Istanbul under the auspices of the Minister of Culture of the Turkish Republic Mr Ertuğrul Günay and His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew.
