The composition artistically recreates part of the monastic complex of St. Spyridon in Tremetousia. The same building is depicted in the work St Spyridon of Cyprus (State Gallery of Contemporary Art, Nicosia), which Georghiou painted around 1949. A variation of the oil painting Tremetousia is included in a series of eight works which the artist had printed as lithographs in the Netherlands by – as is written at the bottom of each one – the publishing house Les éditions Pol. Georghiou, île de Chypre. The work owned by the A. G. Leventis Gallery bears the date 30 July 1955 next to the name of the artist; that is to say, it was made two years before the work of the same title subsequently printed as a lithograph.
