Franghias Kavertzas

His painting style resembles the late Cretan School or early Greek Baroque period.

His work was influenced by Georgios Klontzas, Michael Damaskinos and Emmanuel Tzanfournaris.

He was active in Crete during the early part of the 17th century roughly after the death of Georgios Klontzas.

On March 9, 1641, a nun named Evgenia Trapezontiopoulla owed him money for the Last Judgement painting.

Kavertzas had an active and very successful workshop in Crete during the early part of the 17th century before it fell to the Ottomans.

Other artists active in Crete around this time were Emmanuel Tzanes, Philotheos Skoufos, and Ieremias Palladas.

The hymn is as follows: All of Creation rejoices in thee, O full of grace the angels in heaven and the race of men, O sanctified temple and spiritual paradise, the glory of virgins, of whom God was incarnate and became a child, our God before the ages.
