Icon, National Onufri Museum, Berat Castle, Berat, Albania

Icon of Saints Cosmas and Damian, attributed to Onufri, 16th centry, from the Church of St John the Theologian, now housed in the National Onufri Museum in the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary inside Berat Castle or Kalaja e Beratit, in Berat, South-Central Albania, capital of the District of Berat and the County of Berat. The cathedral was built in 1797 on the foundations of an older church and its museum is named after Onufri or Onouphrios of Neokastro, Albania's famous 16th century icon painter. The museum comprises the main nave, the altar area, and several rooms in the North and West of the church. Picture by Manuel Cohen
