Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artist Andreas Pavias (Шаблон:Lang-el 1440-1504/1512) was a Greek painter and educator. He was one of the founding fathers of the Cretan School, and his works influenced countless artists both Italian and Greek; paintings by Pavias could be found in many churches and private collections in both geographic areas. Seven of these paintings survive today, six bearing the artist's signature.[1][2][3][4][5] The most famous of the group is a Crucifixion.

Pavias learned his craft from Angelos Akotantos, and was affiliated with Andreas Ritzos. He experimented with different techniques, and his paintings incorporate stylistic traits from the Venetian school. Angelos Pitzamanos was the student of Pavias, who also influenced the works of such Cretan School artists as Theodore Poulakis, Georgios Klontzas, and Michael Damaskenos.
