An A. G. Leventis Gallery publication presenting Theodore Ralli’s artworks shown in the temporary exhibition Theodore Ralli’s Greece (Nicosia, November 2021 – February 2022), dedicated to Greece on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence.

Theodore Ralli was an important Greek painter of the 19th century. He was born in Constantinople, to a family originally from Chios, and studied and lived in Paris. He often travelled to Greece and the East and, along with his studio in Paris, he also had a studio in Cairo for many years. Due to his connection with the East, he is considered the most significant Greek Orientalist painter. He participated regularly in the official Paris Salon and in international exhibitions, presenting Greek and Orientalist subjects. In his Greek-themed works, he depicted Greece in his own unique way, taking inspiration from his travels and experiences.
