🔥 RARE Antique Old Orientalist Greek Ottoman Turkish Oil Painting SYRRAKOS 1902

Description: This is a historically significant and RARE Antique Old Orientalist Greek Ottoman Turkish Oil Painting on linen canvas, by early Greek landscape and portrait painter Christos Syrrakos (1881 - 1945.) This work depicts the portrait of a traditionally dressed Turkish man, flanked by the red crescent moon and star flag of the Ottoman Empire in the upper left and right corners. Signed: "Christos Syrrakos" in Greek in the lower right corner. This painting likely dates to 1902, when the artist exhibited in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. Approximately 27 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 21 3/4 x 21 3/4 inches. Very good condition of age and material, with a few small spots of soiling to the linen canvas (please see photos.) Although Syrrakos was a prolific painter, his artworks are incredibly rare and there are no other known examples in private hands. The other known examples of his artwork are exhibited in the Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa, Katsigras Museum in Greece. Priced to sell. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.

About the Artist: Χρήστος Συρράκος - Christos Syrrakos - Xristos Syrrakos (1881 - 1945) He studied at the School of Fine Arts near Nikiforos Lytras. In 1901 he traveled to Italy, France and ended up in London to continue his studies. in 1905 he went to Germany and in the same year he returned to his homeland where in 1910 he founded an art school. After the Asia Minor catastrophe he fled to Athens. He exhibited his works in Constantinople in 1902, Smyrna 1905, Athens 1926. After his death, his works were exhibited in Greece in 1948.Although he worked intensively, few of his works are known and these are found in Syll. Koutlidis, Leventis and Katsigras.Christos Syrrakos was born in 1881. He studied painting. His paintings are mostly island landscapes which are depicted with warm colors and subtle tonal graduations. He died in Athens in 1945. KOPANOSWhen the constitution was proclaimed in Turkey in 1908, freedom of the press was allowed. At that time, the Mytilene journalist G. Anastasiades published in Smyrna a weekly satirical magazine called "KOPANOS".This magazine was a great success, because it had smart content and the Smyrnas were waiting for it to be released on Sunday morning.His caricatures were designed by the painter Christos Syrrakos under the pseudonym Gerlisios. These sketches had a very popular character. The painter himself also wrote small Smyrna ethographies, written in the Smyrna dialect. They were so successful, they had such a folk color and humor that you thought that Syrrakos was born and the inn was brought up in Tsikoudias.Then Syrrakos got into a fight with Anastasiades and went and took out another satirical magazine, which he called Kosmos. He took it out with the publisher Nikolaidis. But this lacked Anastasiades' scintillating spirit and the magazine did not drink.When Syrrakos left, the sketches of Kopanos were made by the painter Ithaca.Syrrakos was a characteristic Smyrna type. She was sitting in Fasoula karsi from Megalo Karakoli – a police station – on the second floor of a house, the first of which was various shops. This house had an open balcony to which Syrrakos had tied up a monkey, which made maitapia — karagiozlikia to say ― and the people underneath were sitting and singing around ― giggling.Syrrakos, who wore corset and berrukas because he was bald, made the Zamphoudes which were small plaster busts of the poet Sappho – Zamfo were called in Smyrna. On their pedestal was written the name of Shamfo. Syrrakos died in Athens in 1945.After the armistice of 1918, Kopanos came out again. Then Anastasiades took me to do the sketches of the magazine. He soaked the subjects and I made the cartoons. In Kopanos, I worked until 1920, until I went as a soldier.So, reader, life in Smyrna, the poor manna, until the War was carefree. You were separated, you had nothing to do, you went down to Kai, you took the vaporaki and you went to Kordellio, you sat in a café near the sea, you took down any carafe of ouzo with sea meze and you took your ageras. Your time passed and you returned to Smyrna fresh and homeless. Again you had an appetite, you rented a carrotsa, he would take you to Chiotika – in Demir yulou – which from the evening onwards was like a festival. You chose whoever you liked, you had your fun and you came back light. A little bit of money to save there was a volition for gums, everything.
