The B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music houses a representative collection of works by Spyros Papaloukas. It is considered the largest collection of works by the great painter and it includes significant paintings and sketches from all the main periods of Papaloukas\u2019 career. Most of the works have been donated to the Foundation in 2006 by the painter\u2019s daughter, Mina Papalouka, aiming at maintaining and promoting her father\u2019s oeuvre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Theocharakis Foundation collection includes works from the painter’s early years as a student in Athens and Paris, portraits and self-portraits, still lifes and landscapes depicting Aegina, Salamina, Paros, Antiparos, Mytilene, Hydra and Mt Athos. The body of over 600 works includes oils, watercolours, charcoal sketches, india ink, and pencil, mechanicals from the Amfissa Church of Annunciation, the Tegeas Archepiscopate, the church of the Law School (now the 8th secondary school of Athens) and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete. These magnificent works reveal the breadth of the artist\u2019s thematic choices throughout his life, they uncover hidden dimensions of the ancient Greek and Byzantine world and unfold Papaloukas’ influence upon the younger generations of artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
