Andreas Pavias (Greek: Ανδρέας Παβίας 1440-1504/1512) was a Greek painter and educator, one of the founding fathers of the Cretan School. His works could be found in churches and private collections throughout Italy and Greece, where they influenced countless artists. Seven of these paintings survive today, six bearing Pavias's signature.[1][2][3][4][5] The most famous of the group is a Crucifixion.
Pavias learned his craft from Angelos Akotantos, and was affiliated with Andreas Ritzos. He experimented with different techniques, and his paintings incorporate stylistic traits from the Venetian school. Angelos Pitzamanos was the student of Pavias, who also influenced the works of such Cretan School artists as Theodore Poulakis, Georgios Klontzas, and Michael Damaskenos.
