The Rediscovery of Greece : Travellers and Painters of the Romantic Era
Tsigakou, Fani-Maria
Published by Caratzas Brothers, New Rochelle, NY, U.S.A., 1981

" The Rediscovery of Greece: Travellers and Painters of the Romantic Era (1981) by Fani-Maria Tsigakou, published by Caratzas Brothers, is a richly illustrated study of how 18th- and 19th-century artists and explorers helped revive European fascination with Greece. Through detailed analysis of paintings, sketches, and travel journals, Tsigakou traces the journeys of Romantic-era figures who ventured to the eastern Mediterranean in search of the classical past and the picturesque. She examines how their encounters with Greek ruins, landscapes, and people shaped the Western imagination, influencing both art and the emerging field of archaeology during a time when Greece was still under Ottoman rule.

Drawing upon extensive visual material from museums and private collections, the book captures the blend of nostalgia, idealism, and discovery that defined the Romantic response to Greece. It stands as both an art historical study and a meditation on cultural perception, charting the transformation of Greece from mythic ideal to living reality. This volume would appeal to art historians, collectors of travel and Romantic art, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of classical heritage and 19th-century European creativity."
