Greek Culture Foundation Hosts Iconography Exhibit of The Cretan School, Belgrade

The Centre of the Greek Culture Foundation in Belgrade will host an exhibition displaying 30 characteristic samples of iconography by The Cretan School from the Image Collection Sekulić. These will include works by Cretan artists such as Andreas Ritzos, Constantine Tzanes and their students. The 165 images are part of a collection amassed during the second and third quarter of the last century by the collectors Milan and Pava Sekulić and donated to the City of Belgrade. Since then, they form a special section of the Museum of the City of Belgrade (Uzun Mirkova 5 / I). The collection contains striking images not only from Serbian artists, but from Greek and Russian ones too.

The Sekulić collection features approximately sixty images created by the Cretan painters and their students. These works were created during the period from the late 15th to the 19th century and are the best collection of Greek iconography that can be seen in Serbia gathered in one place. The exhibition will be held on Tuesday, the 24th of May at 7:00 p.m. The duration of the exhibition is from 24. 5.2011– 14. 6. 2011 Hours are: Mon – Fri.: 12:00 to 19:00
