Engraving on Linoleum, signed and numbered by Alekos Fassianos "Blue youth" – Alekos Fassianos, Αλέκος Φασιανός
Theme dimensions: 22 cm x 13,5 cm
Paper dimensions: 24,5 cm x 32 cm
Alekos Fassianos (Αλέκος Φασιανός, 1935 – 2022) was a renowned Greek painter. He gained recognition for his distinctive style, which was characterized by immediacy and a deliberate departure from standardized painting techniques.
The characteristic artistic style of Alekos Fassianos is formed in the early 60's. The three main themes during its course are man, nature and the environment. His study of Greek culture, his involvement with graphic arts and engraving influenced his painting. In his first compositions, the figure of the officer dominates with the inflatable, red cheeks and the fancy ribbons on the uniform. As well as the cartoonishly evocative style. Gradually the forms move and acquire their own life. They become pairs that fill the space as soon as they touch each other. However,… Read More

Alexandros Papagos (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Παπάγος; 1883-1955) was a Greek army officer who led the Hellenic Army in World War II and the later stages of the subsequent Greek Civil War. The only Greek career officer to rise to the rank of Field Marshal, Papagos became the first Chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff from 1950 until his resignation the following year. He then entered politics, founding the nationalist Greek Rally party and becoming the country's Prime Minister after his victory in the 1952 elections. His premiership was shaped by the Cold War and the aftermath of the Greek Civil War, and was defined by several key events, including Greece becoming a member of NATO; U.S. military bases being allowed on Greek territory and the formation of a powerful and vehemently anti-communist security apparatus.… Read More

Anacreon (575 – c. 495 BC) was a Greek lyric poet, notable for his drinking songs and erotic poems. Later Greeks included him in the canonical list of Nine Lyric Poets. Anacreon wrote all of his poetry in the ancient Ionic dialect. Like all early lyric poetry, it was composed to be sung or recited to the accompaniment of music, usually the lyre. Anacreon's poetry touched on universal themes of love, infatuation, disappointment, revelry, parties, festivals and the observations of everyday people and life.
In the early modern period, Anacreon's poetry was translated into Latin as well as into the vernacular, and poets started once again to adapt his works. The European Anacreontic movement reached its height in the eighteenth century, with Anacreontic groups in Germany, France, and Britain including the… Read More

The Third Siege of Missolonghi was fought in the Greek War of Independence, between the Ottoman Empire and the Greek rebels, from 15 April 1825 to 10 April 1826. The Ottomans had already tried and failed to capture the city in 1822 and 1823, but returned in 1825 with a stronger force of infantry and a stronger navy supporting the infantry. The Greeks held out for almost a year before they ran out of food and attempted a mass breakout, which however resulted in a disaster, with the larger part of the Greeks slain.
