Orthodox tradition

Let's list some prominent examples of evangelist portraits from the Orthodox countries... --Ghirla^-трёп- 16:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We have 4 Byzantine ones already. I'd like to include the Rublyev, but for example the Trebizond is very similar to one already there - always an issue with Orthodox art because of its deliberate conservatism. What I'm really looking for is a Byzantine one with the Dolphin-shaped lectern - know any? If the Gallery gets too long it will inevitably be attacked. Johnbod 16:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
