Ecole FRANCAISE vers 1825
The Greek Priest. Canvas 160 x 120 cm Old restorations. This large painting, probably intended for a Salon, illustrates an episode of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. We see a Greek Orthodox priest defending the Cross against Ottoman soldiers. Label on the back, indicating the title and the date, and a former location in Aire sur Adour in the Landes department. In 1824 Eugène Delacroix will present at the Salon the Massacre of Scio and in 1826 Greece on the ruins of Missolonghi, two important works on the Greek revolution
