Christ Pantocrator (Palladas)

[1][2] The Patriarch of Jerusalem Nectarius wrote about the painter in his archives because Ieremias was one of the most influential figures of his time.

Church domes became a common site of Pantocrator images in the Greek and Italian world.

Later artists such as El Greco and Titian replaced the bible with a globe the painting theme became known as Salvator Mundi.

The current painting was removed from the Church of Saint Nicholas, Ialysos (Trianta), Rhodes, Greece, and is now on display at Panagia tou Kastrou.

The icon follows the traditional maniera greca which is characterized by a gilded background, flattened space, and striations to suggest folds of fabric.

His hair features clearly established lines, contours, and grooves and creates spatial depth.

Christ's attire features luxuriant patterns and brilliant colors representative of his celestial majestic stature.
