The church has suffered great vandalism and sacrilege by the Turks; it has been robbed of its sacred utensils, seen piled up on the floor. Yet, the protagonist is the beautiful, almost naked Greek girl tied on the church bench. Her face conveys pain, outrage, anger.The scene has been painted with the characteristic accuracy and mastery of French academic painting, seriously influenced by photography. The red belt is the only bold colour in this painting, in which brown tones are dominant.  aPainting  aOil on canvas 1aRallis Theodorosf(1852 - 1909)uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artist/rallis-theodoros/  a59  uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artwork/the-booty/  ahttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/60632_2000_2000-500x672.jpg  aΚ.712  aΕ.
