Anna Filini hosts art exhibition in Missolonghi

Artist Anna Filini is presenting a new painting exhibition titled “Exodus and the March of the Besieged” at the Diexodos Center for Logos and Arts in Missolonghi. The exhibition is part of the commemorative events marking 200 years since the Exodus of Missolonghi.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a monumental eight-meter-long painted frieze that depicts the dramatic journey of the besieged during the night of April 10 to 11, 1826. Drawing inspiration from the Parthenon frieze and Picasso’s “Guernica,” the work utilizes historical accounts from Nikolaos Kasomoulis to portray the struggle and sacrifice of the Greek Revolution.

The collection also includes twelve works dedicated to the 1821 Revolution and six compositions inspired by Dionysios Solomos’s “The Free Besieged.” Curated by art historian Spyros Moschonas, the exhibition is open to the public with free admission through December 31, 2026.
