DescriptionIn a nostalgic mood, Andreas
Georgiadis revives the Athens of yore in his work "Spring morning in Athens
of 1909". This view of an Athenian street, with the columns of the Temple of
Olympian Zeus and the rock of the Acropolis in the background, brings the
city’s history to mind and offers a different, peaceful picture from early in
the past century – thus taking the viewer back in time and perhaps drawing a
comparison with the present.
