Two other very famous painters with the name Moskos were active around the same period Elias Moskos and Leos Moskos. Leos Moskos frequently traveled all over the Venitian Empire and was in Venice around the same period as Ioannis. He is not Elias Moskos's son.

History

Ioannis Moskos was born in Rethimno sometime between 1635-1644. He migrated to Venice during the 1650s. The only record that exists of Ioannis is a marriage in Venice. He was married at San Giorgio dei Greci by famous painter Philotheos Skoufos. He was married to a woman from Rethimno named Ergina Klarotzanopoula. Famous painter Emmanuel Tzanes was also affiliated with the church. His brother famous painter Konstantinos Tzanes was with him. Leos Moskos was in Venice around the same period he is documented participating in three baptisms. No other records exist except for Ioannis's signed works. Some were located in San Giorgio dei Greci. Historians have used his signed works to establish an artistic style and background for the painter. His The Crucifixion for instance can be likened to the famous work of Andreas Pavias. His style began to resemble Michael Damaskinos.Шаблон:Sfn

Drakopoulou and Hatzidakis established that Ioannis is not Elias Moskos son because of two documented wills for the painter. The popular media and textbooks have often confused Ioannis as the son of Elias Moskos with no such evidence. In the first will Elias Moskos left his fortune to his brother George during the 1660s. In his final will he mentions his two children George and Maria. According to the Neo-Hellenic Institute forty-four of his paintings survived. Шаблон:Sfn[5]
