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. Thus, in the central part of the composition, a white church is depicted in two vertical geometric planes with the typical Aegean architectural style. Below is the main volume of the architecture with the arched roofs that possibly correspond to the various aisles of the church, with its characteristic mullioned windows and windows, integrated into a paved square. In its upper part, the dome is imprinted, which is polygonal with arched windows, while there is no cross on its top. To the right of the composition (as viewed by the viewer) a tree has been placed, while above it and to the right of the dome, the upper floor of a house can just be discerned, specifically part of the outer wall, the window and the roof with its tiles. The rendering of the vertical axis in the central part of the composition allows the viewer’s gaze to be led to its upper part, where the overcast sky is rendered, which hides the source of the light, which, however, causes its shadows.
