Giovanni Permeniate

Ioannis Permeniates also known as Giovanni Permeniate, Joannes Permeniates or Zuan Permeniatis, was a Greek painter active in Venice during the early 16th century. His most popular painting is The Virgin and Child Enthroned. He was an icon painter who attempted to escape the maniera greca. His icons exhibit qualities of both Venetian and Cretan styles. Exhibiting a more refined maniera greca, he eschews the simplicity of Duccio and Cimabue, and adds more space to his paintings.
