Feofan Grek

Japanese: フェオファン・グレク(英語表記)Feofan Grek
Feofan Grek
A Greek icon painter active in Russia from 1330 to 1410. In the 1370s, he worked on murals and icons, mainly in Novgorod, and was known in Russian as Theophanes the Greek (meaning Theophanes the Greek). He painted murals in the Preobrazhenie Cathedral, such as "The Holy Trinity of the Old Testament" and "Saint Macarius," in a strict spiritualistic style using limited colors and intense brushwork. In addition to the "Deesis" (1405) in the iconostasis of the Blagoveshchensky Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin, which is later believed to be an original, there are several other known icons that are thought to be from his workshop or a successor to his.
