Abstract
Narratives about the 1821 Revolution are often accompanied, both in academic historiography and in school textbooks, by visual material drawn from works by Greek and Philhellene artists. This material, which also dominates the anniversary events – school and non-school – of the Greek Revolution, is usually not approached critically and therefore contributes to the formation of a selective, distorted and distorting collective historical memory of the revolution. This book offers a critical approach to works of so-called historical painting, considering that they constitute multifaceted texts, open to various and different readings, that they constitute first-class material for a fruitful dialogue between the present and the past. There is a discussion of their aspects with a combination of different methodological principles – as some of the works presented are more for aesthetic approach, while others for historical and/or sociological – in order to cultivate visual literacy, historical thinking and consciousness.
