Miliadis Stelios
(Chios 1881 - Athens 1965)
Stelios Miliadis is one of the very few Greek painters who embraced the doctrines of French Impressionism in the genuine expression of them. After studying in Munich, he settled in Paris, where he stayed until 1932. His work is deeply influenced by the painting of Auguste Renoir, as it is with little abrupt brush-strokes of pure colour that he renders the landscapes of the French countryside, while often influences from the work of Paul Cézanne are traceable, particularly in the views of villages, where the masses of the buildings are structured purely with colour

Description
The influences of French Impressionism are identifiable in Harvest-time at Larissa, in which the city of Larissa, which can be seen in the background, separates the boundless sky from the Thessalian plain. The ricks, in bright colours, positioned in such a way as to help the picture's perspective, permit the artist to shape the masses by little successive brush-strokes, and to denote their shadows.
