Description
Vassiliou illustrates the traditional song of Naoussa and Veria titled " accept with tree]". The way he does it is based on the conceptual analysis of thr poem. The girl in the picturevirtually symbolizes the tree that is mentioned in the song, that will offer to the soldier a a place to rest.The composition follows the Byzantine models and reminds intensely of the Byzantine manuscripts. Two-dimensional output, absence of prospect, intense modelling on the faces and stylished folding on the clothing.
