St Onouphrios

A devotional icon of St Onouphrios preserved from the home of the family of Petros Karakoulakoglou in Alaya. It is a characteristic example of early 20th-century Asia Minor folk painting, with a simplified rendering of the saint’s ascetic type and a gentle colour palette.
The icon was later conserved by the icon painter Dimitris Alevizopoulos, contributing to the stabilisation of the surface and the preservation of the original paint layer.
