Michael Astrapas and Eutychios

[1] Michael Astrapas and Eutychios were active painters in Northern Greece and the Macedonian region.

Luckily they signed their work with signatures or monograms almost hidden in their frescoes on the garments of some saints, the weapons or armory of holy warriors or on items.

Michael Astrapas and Eutychios traveled all over the empire from modern Greece, North Macedonia, and Serbia.

The names Michael and Eutychios were persevered in the inscriptions of four churches at Staro Nagoricino, Prizren, Banjani, and Ohrid.

Markovic explains that because of the difference in painting styles a plausible argument can be made that there is a father-son relationship between the two artists.
