Sargis Pitsak (Armenian: Սարգիս Պիծակ) was an early 14th-century Armenian artist.[1] Nearly 50 illustrated manuscripts are attributed to him.[2] His father was called Grigor.[3]
Pitsak lived in Cilicia, during a difficult period when epidemics often followed wars.[4] He copied and illustrated manuscripts on the request of King Levon IV,[5] queen Mariun and others.[6]
Pitsak seems to have been familiar with the work of Toros Roslin and he completed the illustration of a famous Gospel (Matenadaran, Cod. 7651), in which some miniatures reflect Roslin's influence.[7]
The importance of Sis was partly because it was the main residence of the famous painter Sargis Pitsak, whose works included nearly fifty manuscripts ...
The exhibition includes major works by Cilicia's most brilliant illuminator, Toros Roslin, and his successor, Sargis Pitsak.
Mentioned in particular should be the miniaturists Toros Roslin and Sarkis Pitsak, who created unsurpassed world scale masterpieces of miniature.
