Greece, between light, sea, and eternity
Cradle of beauty and thought, Greece is a country where every stone, every reflection, and every horizon evokes the history of the world.
From the ancient ruins of the Peloponnese to the luminous islands of the Cyclades, from the suspended monasteries of Meteora to the shores of the Aegean Sea, it offers an infinite palette of colors and emotions.
Since the 19th century, painters and travelers have celebrated the Greek light, the purity of its sky, and the nobility of its landscapes.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Greece, as it was glorified by Carl Rottmann, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Edward Lear, Carl Haag, Theodoros Vryzakis, Nikolaos Gyzis and Constantinos Volanakis.
Their works unite realism, romanticism, and spirituality, celebrating a land where nature and myth are intertwined.
Mediterranean light in your decor
Hanging a painting of Greece means inviting into your home the clarity, serenity, and majesty of the ancient and Mediterranean world. Greek art prints evoke sun-drenched cliffs, colorful harbors, white islands, and landscapes steeped in myth.
These works blend perfectly with a Mediterranean, modern, bohemian, or minimalist decor, bringing light, balance, and depth.
A seascape by Volanakis, a watercolor by Lear, or a historical scene by Vryzakis will bring the warmth and poetry of the South into your home.
Greek painting is above all an art of light: that of the sky, the sea, and memory.
The great painters of Greece
Carl Rottmann (1797–1850) created the first major series of Greek landscapes commissioned by the King of Bavaria, laying the foundations for a romantic vision of modern Greece.
Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) illustrated mythology and ancient Greece with unmatched historical rigor and pictorial sensuality.
Edward Lear (1812–1888), English traveler and watercolorist, captured the transparency and gentle light of the Greek islands.
Carl Haag (1820–1915) immortalized daily life and Greek ruins in compositions filled with exoticism and serenity.
Theodoros Vryzakis (1814–1878), one of the founders of modern Greek painting, proudly depicted the heroic episodes of the War of Independence.
Nikolaos Gyzis (1842–1901), master of Hellenic symbolism, conveyed Greek culture and spirituality in his canvases with unparalleled depth.
Constantinos Volanakis (1837–1907), finally, was the great painter of the Aegean Sea—its ports, its ships, and its blazing sunsets.
Together, they gave Greece its artistic identity: luminous, poetic, and profoundly human.
