Michael Prevelis

Michael Prevelis (Greek: Μιχαήλ Πρέβελης, 1700s – 1700s). He was a Greek painter. He was active on the island of Crete during the eighteenth century. He was one of few Greek painters still active on the island. Other painters included: Ioannis Kornaros and Georgios Kastrofylakas. His work diverged from the traditional Greek mannerism. He was a representative of the Neo-Hellenikos Diafotismos in art, he was another representative of the Greek Rococo and Baroque periods. The Greek mannerisms were reflected in iconography and other painted mediums at the time. Nine of his works have survived they are all located at the Preveli Monastery. His most notable work is the Book of Revelation.
