First Madonnari (travelling folk artists in Italy reproducing simple Christian images) in Venice in C13th were Greeks from Crete and other places. They were painting their icons following the Byzantine style (after Saint Lucas sanctified prototypes ignoring Tuscan innovations).
The most important detail is the two headed wolf pelt. This is an adaption the imperial eagle. Roman Aquila was augmented in the middle ages, seen here with one on a Byzantine emperor's bible. It was then adopted by Ivan the Great. Wolves also have a long association with Russia.
