Zante ART & Handicrafts
In addition to the fine needlework and crocheting skills of the
Zakynthian women, the churches in Zakynthos provide a great example of
how the art of carving has flourished in Zante.
Both wood and silver carving have become popular in Zante 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.
