Sargis Pitsak (Template:Langx) 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]
