Lonely Planet review for National Gallery - Alexandros Soutzos Museum
Housed in a stunningly restored neoclassical building, this beautiful new gallery - an arm of the Athens National Gallery - displays works on the 1821 Greek War of Independence, including paintings of Greek painters Vryzakis and Tsokos, considered the most important painters of the post-war years. The paintings, a few sculptures and artefacts are divided according to themes: battles, dying heroes, victorious sea battles, consequences of war in everyday life and ideology of the Free State.
