The Aleppo school was a school of icon painting, founded by the priest Yusuf al-Musawwir (also known as Joseph the Painter) and active in Aleppo, which was then a part of the Ottoman Empire, between at least 1645[1] and 1777.[2] As explained by William Lyster:

[al-Musawwir's] atelier drew upon the icon tradition of Crete, which before its conquest by the Ottomans in 1699 was the "hub of a great intermingling of Western and Eastern Christian representations."[1]
The Last Judgement, painted by Nehmatallah Hovsep in 1703, is one of the most famous icons of the Aleppo school.[3]
