Abstract

Historical painting in Greece was called to defend the ideological role that could shape the national consciousness of the new Greek state. Two hundred years later and through the eyes of young people, the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle presents the new dimension of the concept of revolution. The greatness of Greek society is its rebirth after the difficulties and adversities of our time. Artistic memory restores the vision of the struggles in a realistic way and with a deep knowledge of the concept of sacrifice.
