Georgios Markazinis

17th century), also known as Georgius Margazinis or Margazinius, was a Greek painter from the island of Crete.

He can be likened to Ioannis Permeniates, Theodore Poulakis, Elias Moskos and Konstantinos Tzanes.

His work escapes the typical lines of the maniera greca and his art is heavily influenced by the Venetian style.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Markazinis was born in the ancient Cretan city of Cydonia, now modern-day Chania.

His surviving signatures were Opus Georgi Margazini and Georgius Margazinus Cydonius.
