Description

A country captured by poets for its supernatural beauty, Greece is the birthplace of iconic monuments known worldwide. It is also the home of an organic architectural language, a product of centuries of rural and island lifestyles, inheriting both the timelessness of classical architecture and the simplicity of rustic life. This stunning collection records the photographic odyssey of Miguel Flores-Vianna through Greece's beautiful landscape, showcasing historical homes alongside contemporary ones, united by the colorful characters who either live or have lived in these places, the "haute bohemians." From the elegant residences of collectors and painters to remote island retreats, timeless taverns, royal promenades, impressive gardens, and even a restored sailing ship, Flores-Vianna transports his fellow travelers to a wondrous world, bathed in the light of an ethereal ray. An extraordinary variety of characters appear, such as historical figures like shepherd Alexandros Rodakis and Queen Amalia, and contemporary creators like art dealer Eleni Martinou and architect Katerina Tsigarida. Also included are the homes of international residents who share their passion for this enchanting country, like interior designer John Stefanidis, artists Helen and Brice Marden, and financier and philanthropist Jacob Rothschild. A self-proclaimed "Philhellene" who has visited Greece countless times since his childhood, Flores-Vianna invites us to join him in capturing his beloved adopted country, recording the character and patina of this charming land through his commercially sensitive photography and engaging texts.
