Modern Greek Art, in general lines, is the form of art that prevails in the

at the same time, the Byzantine tradition, the post byzantine that is to say
art, that was also the sovereign form throughout the period of Ottoman domination.

Eptanisa where under the command of the Enets and will be extended in the remainder
