Theophanes the Greek (Russian: Феофан Грек, romanized: Feofan Grek; Greek: Θεοφάνης; c. 1330/1340 – c. 1410) was a Byzantine Greek artist, active mainly in Russia.[1][2]
He greatly influenced the style of painting in Novgorod and Moscow in the 15th century.[2] He is also known as being the teacher and mentor of Andrei Rublev, the greatest Russian icon painter of his time.[3]
