The roots of modern Greek art, that is, the art that developed in the free Greek state over the 19th and 20th centuries, are to be found in Byzantine painting and the Ionian school of the period before the outbreak of the Greek revolution. After the liberation of Greece, as the result of various composite and mutual influences from Europe, the artistic personality of modern Hellenism was shaped. Many of the works of art of the period express and reproduce the ideological trends, the nature and the transformations in modern Greek society.

The course commences with the process whereby the Greek state was constituted during the struggle for Greek independence. It then examines the major developments and changes undergone by the Greek state. It offers an analysis of social, economic and political structures and looks at various aspects of Greek political history.
