<br />
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. A significant coastal urban area in the Mediterranean, Athens is also the capital of the Attica region and is the southernmost capital on the European mainland. With its urban area's population numbering over 3.6 million, it is the eighth-largest urban area in the European Union (EU). The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire urban area, had a population of 643,452 in 2021, within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 square kilometres (15.04 square miles).<br />
<br />
Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years, and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC. According to Greek mythology, the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, but modern scholars generally agree that the goddess took her name after the city. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for Hellenistic democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy in its own right independently from the rest of Greece.<br />
<br />
In modern times Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. It is a Beta (+) – status global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is one of the biggest economic centres in Southeast Europe. It also has a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is both the second-busiest passenger port in Europe and the thirteenth-largest container port in the world. The Athens metropolitan area extends beyond its administrative municipal city limits as well as its urban agglomeration, with a population of 3,638,281 in 2021 over an area of 2,928.717 km2 (1,131 sq mi).<br />
<br />
The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments, and works of art, the most famous of these being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western culture. Athens retains Roman, Byzantine and a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens contains two World Heritage Sites recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Athens is home to several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, making it one of five cities to have hosted the Summer Olympics on more than one occasion.<br />

ICON PAINTING IN CRETE AROUND 1400 A.D.<br />
<br />
The adoption of the wooden iconostasis, which replaced the byzantine marble templon, favored the production of icons around the end of the 14th c. A.D. Constantinopolitan painters that immigrated to Candia in that period, such as Alexandros and Angelos Apokaukos or Nikolaos Philanthropinos, played an important role to the development of the Cretan Painting, since they imported to the island the iconographical and stylistic trends of the byzantine Capital.<br />
<br />
Their presence is well documented, despite the fact that even a single work of art with their signature cannot be traced. Nevertheless, a large number of icons could be attributed to Constantinopolitan painters on stylistic and iconographic criteria. The icon of the "Deësis" in the Museum of Hagia Aikaterini can be listed among them. The iconographic details of Christ enthroned between the Virgin and St. John the Baptist were repeated later (second quarter of the 15th. c. A.D.) on three of the icons painted by the famous Cretan painter Angelos Acotantos.<br />
<br />
The new artistic air brought to Crete by the Constantinopolitan artists and the influence of the Western art, which was favored by the Venetian presence in the island, the trade and the growth of a rich and well educated bourgeoisie, which supported the Fine Arts, helped the emergence of great painters such as Angelos Akotantos, Andreas Rizzo, Theophanes, Michael Damaskenos and Dominikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco) and the creation of a specific artistic language in the icon-painting, which was described under the term "Cretan School".</p>
