Leos Moskos frequently traveled all over the Venitian Empire and was in Venice around the same period as Ioannis.

He was married at San Giorgio dei Greci by famous painter Philotheos Skoufos.

Historians have used his signed works to establish an artistic style and background for the painter.

[2] Drakopoulou and Hatzidakis established that Ioannis is not Elias Moskos son because of two documented wills for the painter.

The popular media and textbooks have often confused Ioannis as the son of Elias Moskos with no such evidence.
