Onufri (Albanian: Onufri; Greek: Ονούφριος; Italian: Onufri), Onouphrios of Neokastro or Onouphrios Argytes, was a 16th century Archpriest of Elbasan and the most important painter of Orthodox murals and icons in the early post-Byzantine era in Albania.[1][2][3][4][5] He founded a school of painting in Berat and extended his influence as far afield as Kastoria (present-day Macedonia, Greece).[1][2][3][6] Trained in Venice, he infused Albanian icon painting with the artistic climate of the Italian Renaissance.[7] His works reveal a great degree of originality and ecclesiastically combined post-Byzantine and Gothic elements.[3][2] Onufri's works played a decisive role in the following trends of Albanian art, up to the 19th century.[1]
The Onufri Iconographic Museum, an Albanian national museum in Berat, is named after the painter.
