Zante ART & Handicrafts
The churches in Zakynthos are a great example of how the art of carving
has flourished in Zante. Both wood and silver carving have become
popular here since the 17th century. Most of the churches on the island
are adorned with beautiful icon screens, carved in stone, silver and
wood. The church of Agios Dionisios, in Zakynthos Town, is home to some
impressive works of Zakynthian carving art. The icon screen and the
silver reliquary that holds the Saints body are inticately carved.
Painting is another handicraft that Zakynthos has become famous for -
again, in the churches in particular the works of art are amazing. Many
famous hagiographers have lived and created in Zante and their works and
icons still adorn the churches today. The Post-Byzantine Art Museum in
Zakynthos Town offers a fantastic opportunity to see some of this
beautiful local art.
