Pantheon is an unspecified by Anastasakos Manolis, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This painting shows a giant crab carrying a bright, rainbow-colored temple on its back. The crab’s shell is dark and textured, while the temple has columns and a glowing roof. Around them, the ocean floor swirls with fish, coral, and glowing plants in blues, greens, and pinks. The temple looks like it’s floating, almost magical. The artist used thick, layered paint to make the colors pop and the textures stand out. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
Manolis Anastasakos painted two city scenes you can walk into: Pantheon shows Rome’s dome from street level, while Just a Gift wraps quiet domestic life around a wrapped box.
