How does Virgin and Child Enthroned (Romas) elucidate its abstract?
The Virgin and Child Enthroned is a tempera painting created by Spyridon Romas.  He was a Greek painter from the island of Corfu and a prominent member of the Heptanese School active from 1745 to 1786  in Corfu, Lecce, Livorno, and London.   Twenty-five of his works survived according to research completed by the Hellenic Institute.  One of few Greek painters that changed his style completely Romas transitioned from the Heptanese School to the British style of painting.  He traveled to London, England around 1770, and remained in the country until his death.   Romas painted several portraits but also maintained art. 
An important iconostasis containing most of his works is preserved in Livorno, Italy at the Museo della Città di Livorno (Museum of the City of Livorno).The Virgin and Child enthroned was an important theme painted by both Italian and Greek Byzantine painters.  Cretan Renaissance painters and Greek Baroque painters depicted the sacred figures in their works. Important works were completed by Andreas Ritzos and Georgios Klontzas namely The Virgin Pantanassa. The painting style slowly evolved with Emmanuel Tzanes and his brother Konstantinos Tzanes both artists refined the Cretan School and brought the theme into the Heptanese School.  One example is Lady the Lambovitissa. Spyridon adopted the technique prevalent on the Ionian Islands in the middle of the 1700s further refining the painting technique.  The painting method was in demand in different Greek churches in Italy namely the church of the Holy Trinity in Livorno and the Chiesa Greco-Ortodossa di San Nicola in Lecce, Sicily.  The current painting is in Livorno, Italy at the Museo della Città di Livorno (Museum of the City of Livorno).
