Tobias Stranover or Toby Stranovius (1684–1756) was a Transylvanian Saxon born painter (1684–after 1731).
Stranover was born in Hermannstadt but travelled to the Holy Roman Empire, the Dutch Republic, and England, where he stayed. He is registered in Hamburg, Hermannstadt, Amsterdam and London.[1] He became a follower of the bird painter Melchior d'Hondecoeter and presumably also Jakob Bogdány, whose daughter Elisabeth he married.
Stranover died in London.
