Description
The two works by Lantsas in the Averoff Gallery, Parthenon and Temple of Olympian Zeus rare in their monumental proportions, though distant from the Romantic approach which is characteristic of those pictures which are usually produced by the water-colour technique in the case of works of small dimensions, are living testimonies not only to a glorious past, but also to a location, familiar and everyday, which is defined with clarity by the strong light which makes the colours radiant.
