Άγιος Φανούριος is a 1912 by Theofilos (Hadjimichail), held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This print shows Saint Fanourios in bright robes, holding a lit lamp. His face glows against a simple background. The saint stands tall, almost floating, with a serious expression. The image comes from a folk artist who mixed old religious styles with bold lines. Here, the saint’s robes look flat and bright, not shaded. That flat style makes the colors pop and feels a little playful. Check out another work by Theofilos (Hadjimichail) at the Museum of Ethnography.
