"Allegorical Composition" is an abstract work by Greek painter Konstantinos Parthenis, now housed in the National Art Gallery in Athens. Parthenis, a prominent figure in the development of Modern Greek art, is known for his exploration of abstract forms and his connection to the artistic movements of his time. This work, painted on a canvas of a muted beige hue, employs delicate strokes and washes of colour to create an ethereal atmosphere. The composition, reminiscent of Cubist and Expressionist styles, is characterized by layered, fragmented forms, suggesting an underlying narrative of movement and dynamism. The absence of clear imagery invites viewers to engage with the work on a personal level and interpret its meaning through their own perceptions.
