Events at Leventis Gallery bring legends to life
September 14, 2022
As the season changes a new programme of activities begins at AG Leventis Gallery to bring young and old closer to art.
On September 21, a new round of tours titled Mythology & Art will kick off led by assistant curator Despina Christofidou. They will focus on mythological aspects and background history of the artwork, bringing legends to life. “With the rediscovery of antiquity during the Renaissance,” says the gallery, “in particular of Greco-Roman art and Greek and Latin literature, mythological and allegorical subjects came back into the limelight. The stories of gods, heroes and allegories came to life once again on canvas.”
