Description

favorite subject of Angelos Theodoropoulos’s engraving from the early 1940s onwards is the island (mainly Cycladic) landscape and above all the rendering of its characteristic architecture. In this engraving composition we see the rendering of part of an island settlement (possibly Naxos) with the characteristic white color, which is particularly emphasized by the intensity of the lighting captured by the engraver, their arched roofs, their small windows, while the characteristic chimneys and the scale on the first level and in the middle of the composition, which facilitate the passage to the upper settlements, In the background to the right (to the viewer) the artist has represented the central temple of the settlement, behind which a mountain mass emerges to his left of which a second one is depicted deeper. Beyond capturing the island settlement and its traditional character, Angelos Theodoropoulos once again confronts the rendering of perspective, depth. Finally, the intensity of the shadows, as seen in the bell tower of the church or on the left side walls of the houses, is enhanced by the clouds, which are rendered steeply.
