Ioannis Permeniates (Greek: Ιωάννης Περμενιάτης; died 1550) also known as Giovanni Permeniate, Joannes Permeniates or Zuan Permeniatis, was a Greek painter active in Venice during the early 16th century. His most popular painting is The Virgin and Child Enthroned. He was an icon painter who attempted to escape the maniera greca. His icons exhibit qualities of both Venetian and Cretan styles. Exhibiting a more refined maniera greca, he eschews the simplicity of Duccio and Cimabue, and adds more space to his paintings.[1][2][3]

History

Ioannis Permeniates was probably born in Canadia and migrated to Venice. Not much is known about the painter. An archive in Venice indicates that he was a member of the local Greek community in the city.[4] The painter signed some of his icons ΧΕΙΡ ΙΩ(ΑΝΝ)ΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΠΕΡΜΕΝΙΩΤ(ΟΥ) by the hand of Ioannis Permeniotis. His famous piece Virgin Enthroned with St. John the Baptist and St. Augustine was signed with Latin capitals: IOANES PERMENIATES/ P.. The painting is housed in the Museo Civico Correr in Venice. Permeniatis also painted: Saint Peter, Saint Francis, and Saint Dominic, which is located in the art museum in Vicenza.[5]
