The paper discusses six icons, a pair of Royal Doors, as well as fragments of an epistyle with the Great Deesis, which are kept at the Byzantine Museum of Kastoria, apart from one icon which is displayed in the Metropolitan Palace of the city. We attribute these icons, which have originated from churches in Kastoria, to the artistic activity of the painter Ioannis from Grammosta. Although no icons in Northern Greece are known to have been made by him, the painter is very well-known due to his artistic activity from 1534/5 in the area of Prilep, Demir Hisar and Ohrid.
