The Monastery of Hosios Loukas (Greek)
Narthex of Katholikon
The mosaic decoration is dominated by figures of saints monks, church fathers and military saints. One of the main features is the use of an outline to indicate the figures, which have a pronounced static quality and large, ecstatic eyes. The same hieratic manner is followed by the wall-paintings in the side bays of the church and in the crypt.
