Theodore Apsevdis (Greek: Θεόδωρος Αψευδής) was a Greek painter assumed to be from Constantinople. He is one of the few Byzantine painters known by name. His contemporary in Italy was Alberto Sotio; both painters were active during the same period. They were active during the Komnenian restoration. Apsevdis's work influenced the Palaeologan Renaissance. Several Italian artists who painted in the style were Coppo di Marcovaldo and Guido of Siena. Apsevdis and his contemporaries set the stage for the Italian and Cretan Renaissance. Some of his notable work is in Cyprus.[1][2][3][4][5]
