Onufri

[1][2][3][6] Trained in Venice, he infused Albanian icon painting with the artistic climate of the Italian Renaissance.

[7] His works reveal a great degree of originality and ecclesiastically combined post-Byzantine and Gothic elements.

[12] Onufri introduced greater realism and individuality into facial expressions, breaking with the strict conventions of the time.

[4] The works of Onufri were significantly influenced by western art, as a result of his possible stay in Venice, being a member of the local Greek fraternity.

Western traces are few and they can be probably explained due to the contact with the paintings of the Cretan School.
