Focus on Christ Enthroned (Tzanes) and discuss the Description.
Christ Enthroned is executed with egg tempera and gold leaf on a wooden panel. Its height is 106 cm (41.7 in) and its width is 66 cm (25.9 in). The work was finished in 1664.  
Set upon a shallow stage, the figures are constructed with substance, dimensionality, and complexity. The painting resembles Angelos Akotantos's treatment of the same subject, being of equivalent height and employing similar colors for the throne and costume of Jesus. Tzanes made the tunic pink instead of red, and widened the throne, creating more space for the celestial figure. The folds of the tunic and mantle exhibit clear lines, grooves, and edges. 
Symmetrically arranged around Jesus are symbols representing the Four Evangelists. Two appear atop the pyramidal supports for the back of the throne: the winged animal to our left is the lion of Saint Mark, and the winged ox or bull on our right symbolizes Luke the Evangelist. To our left, above Jesus's shoulder, an angel appears. This is the symbol of Matthew the Evangelist. The final evangelical figure, to our right and above Jesus's other shoulder, is the eagle of John the Evangelist.  All four symbolic figures are depicted with books, and Jesus also has an open book resting on his lap.  The Evangelists depicted with Christ in Majesty became popular in the art of the Heptanese School.
