Theophanis Strelitzas (Greek: Θεοφάνης Στρελίτζας; 1490–1559), also known as Theophanes the Cretan (Θεοφάνης ὁ Κρής, pronounced Theophanes O Krees) or Theophanes Bathas (Θεοφάνης Μπαθᾶς) was a Greek painter of icons and frescos in the style of the Cretan School. He passed much of his career as a member of the monastic community of Mount Athos.
Theophanes was part of the artistically prolific Strelitzas-Bathas family, whose members have left over one hundred extant works distributed throughout Greece. His work influenced many later painters, including Fragkos Katelanos and Dionysius of Fourna. Theophanes's son and apprentice Symeon Bathas Strelitzas later became a professional painter in his own right.[1][2][3]
