The Apotheosis of Bavaria 1899

"The Apotheosis of Bavaria" is a charcoal drawing by Greek painter Nikolaos Gyzis. It depicts three women, likely representing the allegorical figure of Bavaria. The composition is dynamic with one figure reaching towards the sky, while the others look on. The delicate use of charcoal creates a sense of ethereal beauty, characteristic of Gyzis’ later works. This piece, completed in 1899, exemplifies Gyzis’ shift towards a more symbolic and emotional style.
