This rare and most remarkable piece by Pericles Pantazis distills and reflects the artistic pursuits of its time: late 19^th-century modernism. It convincingly combines Courbet’s romantic realism, Manet’s bold use of color, and the impressionist’s free rendering of light. Through the well-thought poetic rendering of the world and the signature recognizable morphoplasty, the artist expresses a lyrical atmosphere, whose simplicity highlights the monumentality of the common object.
