Details: Monemvasia – Μονεμβασιά Artist: Michalis Georgas (Μιχάλης Γεωργάς) Medium: Egg tempera on wood (Αυγοτέμπερα σε ξύλο) Size: 75 × 110 cm (framed, original frame) Provenance: Tsantilis Art Gallery, Athens A luminous hymn to Byzantine stone and Aegean light. Georgas renders the storied citadel of Monemvasia with reverent precision: sun-warmed limestone, hand-laid terracotta roofs, and the iconic domes set against an endless Peloponnesian horizon. Egg tempera—his signature medium—delivers a tactile, jewel-toned surface where every plane of light seems to breathe. The result is both archaeological and modern: a serene, investment-grade statement work for refined interiors in Athens, London, New York, Dubai, or Sydney.

His practice spans archaeological sites, rural vistas, and urban scenes, often balancing realism with contemplative symbolism. He held his first solo exhibition in Athens in 1969 and has exhibited in Greece and abroad. Market note (selected): Georgas’s egg-tempera works appear at international auction houses; notable entries include Rue du Pirée – Akti Miaouli at Bonhams (tempera on canvas laid on board, ~75 × 122 cm) and a historical record pricereported at USD 22,316 for Island view (Bonhams, 2009). These results evidence sustained demand for large-format tempera works by the artist.
