DiaporamaView from Karyes of Mount Athos
spyros papaloukas (1892 – 1957)
Explore the evocative paintings of Spyros Papaloukas (1892-1957), a ArtsDot artist from Greece. Known for religious scenes, portraits & landscapes, his work reflects Byzantine influences.
The artist began specialising in pictures of country estates when he settled in Britain in the 1670s. The name of the estate's owner, and probable commissioner of the painting, is now lost. At one time thought to be The Grove in Highgate, the building has been identified by local historian Roy Allen as being in Belsize, Middlesex (what is now Belsize Park in northwest London). In 1696, when this picture was made, the whole of Belsize belonged to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey (the Abbey and other landmarks are visible on the horizon). The road in the foreground is what is now Rosslyn Hill. The coach is heading towards Hampstead.
