Abstract:
The atypical features of a dominant representation of Constantine in the Protaton church, youth in particular, are investigated with regard to imperial portraits of the Palaiologi and the rhetorical construction of “New Constantine.” The conclusions shed light on another aspect of relations between rhetoric and pictorial creation in Late Byzantium. They also lead to the hypothesis that the fresco decoration of the Protaton on Mount Athos was offered by the emperor Andronicus II shortly after he ascended to the throne in 1282, as a clear statement of change in ecclesiastical policy.
