The painter Vikentios Bokatsiampis was born in Potamos, Corfu, in 1856 and passed away in Athens in 1932.
He began his studies at the Marseille Academy of Fine Arts and continued them in Florence and at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. In 1895, he returned to Corfu and founded the Art School alongside A. Giallinas and S. Platsaios.
In 1900, he succeeded V. Lanτzas as professor of Cosmitography (ornamental painting) at the School of Fine Arts, where he taught until 1928. At the same time, he also taught at the School of Art Lovers (Scholi Ton Filotechnon).
Every autumn from 1906 to 1924, he organized exhibitions of his work in his studio. He also participated in group exhibitions, including the Olympia Exhibition (1888), the Exposition Internationale Universelle (Paris, 1900), and the Athens International Exhibition (1903), among others.
His interest focused on the depiction of nature, especially the Corfiot landscape. At the same time, he engaged with portraiture, which demonstrates his drafting fluency and an emphasis on rendering local costumes. As a rule, his compositions balance realistic and idealistic elements, while the choice of soft tones, primarily in his watercolors, contributes to creating a lyrical atmosphere.
