After a B.A. in Archaeology she did a Ph. D. thesis in the History of Art at University College London. During 1980-2015 she worked at the Benaki Museum as Curator of the Department of Paintings, Prints and Drawings. Her specific research interest is the perception and image of Greece and the Greeks in European paintings , prints and in Travel-literature on Greece, from the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0to the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries. Her book\u201d The Rediscovery of Greece. Travelers and Painters of the Romantic Era\u201d, Thames and Hudson, 1981( with an introduction by Sir Steven Runciman), is considered the basic reference work on the subject. A world specialist on the subject of \u201cImages of Greece by foreign artists- travellers\u201d and \u201cPhilhellenic iconography\u201d she has published extensively on these topics and organized more than 170 exhibitions in Europe, The U.S.A, Australia and Japan.<\/p><p><strong>\u201cUt Pictura Poesis: Byron\u2019s Poetry vs. Byronic Iconography\u201d<\/strong> UT PICTURA POESIS, meaning that AS PAINTING SO IS POETRY, an idea first stated in antiquity, that stimulated academic debate for many centuries, in the age of the Renaissance finally vindicated Painting. The issue I negotiate in my presentation is how can poetry be transformed into Painting, in reference to Philhellenic art works inspired by Byron\u2019s poetry. The equation is a great challenge to the artist, because it demands sensitive images that reveal not only the deeper content of the verses, but also the poet\u2019s intentions and feeling.\u00a0Byron\u2019s strongly visual descriptions of the landscape of Greece and his powerfully characterized dramatic heroes and heroines created a spectacular source of inspiration for the Romantic painters. Throughout the nineteenth century a considerable number of European Romantic art works attempted to bring to life the lines of Byron\u2019s poems.\u00a0However, few of them may be considered successful, because, to give a visual form to a poem is an achievement that goes beyond an artist\u2019s creative ability of illustration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4249d8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c4249d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38d031b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"38d031b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>JANE STABLER<\/strong> (University of St Andrews) \u2013 Professor of Romantic Literature at the University of St Andrews, Scotland.

The tale contains a<em>\u00a0<\/em>moral about heeding timely warnings, but also conveys the uncanny way in which we experience the passing of time. This talk looks at the ways in which Byron plays with the reader\u2019s experience of time in his poetry, particularly as it relates to the possibility of simultaneity. The talk grows out of thoughts on a passage in George Eliot\u2019s\u00a0<em>Daniel Deronda\u00a0<\/em>(a novel in which Byron appears more than once): \u2018For\u00a0Macbeth&#8217;s\u00a0rhetoric\u00a0about the impossibility of being many opposite things in the same moment, referred to the clumsy necessities of action and not to the subtler possibilities of feeling. We cannot speak a loyal word and be meanly silent, we cannot kill and not kill in the same moment; but a moment is room wide enough for the loyal and mean desire, for the outlash of a murderous thought and the sharp backward stroke of repentance\u2019 (I iv).

In this talk, I will focus primarily on Byron the writer in Messolonghi, rereading the letters and poetry he composed from January to April 1824 in an attempt to characterize the conclusion of his literary career. In addition, I will discuss how the traces Byron left in Messolonghi have continued to come to light over the past two centuries, and how pilgrims to the Sacred City, following in Byron\u2019s wake, have contributed to our sense of the poet and his work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FANI-MARIA TSIGAKOU \u2013 Art-Historian.
