 Themes-artistic depictions

Many Greek artists of this period also drew upon El Greco's style for inspiration, particularly when creating art based on religious themes.This tied in with the idea of modern secular Greek art of the period referencing more classical styles, while religious art referenced Byzantine, or Byzantine inspired art.Moreover, an important and often pioneering role was played by artists from Ionian islands in the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, who exploited conquests of the Italian Renaissance and baroque ateliers.
