Synopsis

The workshop focuses on the general "picture" (with and without quotation marks) of Philhellenism for Greece, examining as a "case study" the figure and philhellenic activity of Lord Byron, as this year marks the 200th anniversary of his death in Messolonghi. On the one hand, the phenomenon of Philhellenism will be analyzed in its visualization through the visual arts, and on the other hand, the multiple presentations of Lord Byron's life and work in the Philhellenic context, especially his decisive influence on it.
