Georgios Markou

Other Greek fresco painters that traveled all over Greece were Fragkos Katelanos, Theophanes the Cretan, and Frangos Kontaris.

Not much is known about his life except for the massive number of frescos that survived in the region of Athens, Greece.

In the period spanning 1719-20 he traveled to Mount Athos for research and study of the "Palaeologan renaissance " in Byzantine Hagiography.

He also traveled to Venice where he had an opportunity to experience the art trends of the Renaissance.

Markou frescoed the church of Kimisis tis Theotokou in Koropi, Athens.

Local legend states that he was buried in the cemetery courtyard of the Church of Agia Paraskevi Markopoulou.

His work may have been influenced by Venetian art because he traveled to Venice and the Ionian Islands.

Another notable artist from the Peloponnese region who completed countless frescos was Christodoulos Kalergis.
