WORKS OF ART
Portrait of Macedonian Fighter Ioannis Tsamis. His figure is depicted realistically, at a mature age. He is wearing a suit and necktie. The oil paints were used in dark shades, which alludes to the artist’s relationship with Byzantine iconography. The bottom left corner of the painting bears the signature of the artist: Polykleitos N. Rengos, 1940. The frame is made of wood with plaster coating and painted brown.
