El Greco never successfully converted the Cretan School to his stylistic transitions. Theodore Poulakis takes his viewers from the Cretan School to the Heptanese School but Michael Damaskinos began playing with the idea one hundred years before Poulakis. Clearly, Michael Damaskinos experimented with this transition in his The Last Supper, and The Wedding of Cana. His paintings Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and the Birth of Isaac are examples of the transitional period of the Cretan School to the more refined sophisticated art of the Heptanese School. He does not always observe the traditional lines and shapes of maniera greca. He is one the fathers of the Heptanese School due to his transition from painting styles. Georgios Klontzas clearly inspired the work of Poulakis.

Both of the paintings follow the traditional Greek style.Īnother painting by Greek painter Georgios Klontzas, All Creation Rejoices in Thee closely resembles Hymn to the Virgin where the virgin is at the Center of the icon and countless figures occupy the iconic space. His work Hymn to the Virgin followed the Greek tradition and is comparable to Andreas Pavias Crucifixion of Jesus.Ĭlearly, both artists try to fill the canvas with figures. Some of his paintings escaped the traditional maniera greca and exhibit fuller shapes and variations of color. The Hymn to the Virgin, 'Eπί Σοί Xαίρει In Thee Rejoiceth Theodore Poulakis By 1675, he was back in Corfu where he lived out the remainder of his life. By 1671, he was back in Venice one year later he was voted a member of the Quaranta e Gionta. Poulakis traveled to Cephalonia where he painted. Philotheos Skoufos was a witness for Poulakis in a legal matter around 1666.

According to the contract, Tzorzi had to follow Poulakis anywhere he went including Venice. He signed a six-year contract to teach painting to Marinos Damistras son Tzorzi. Poulakis was a member of the Greek Brotherhood of Venice in 1654. Famous Greek painters Philotheos Skoufos, Emmanuel Tzanes, Konstantinos Tzanes, and Ioannis Moskos were all living in Venice around that time. His son was baptized in Venice in 1646 and his daughter two years later. He stayed there for thirteen years until 1657. By the age of twenty-four, he was living in Venice. He was married and had two children Vittirous and Eleni. Over 130 of his paintings have survived and can be found all over the world. Poulakis works exhibit qualities of the Venetian school. Poulakis's works are likened to Andreas Pavias and Georgios Klontzas. Stephanos Tzangarolas was another famous painter in Corfu around the same period. Candia finally fell after twenty years of siege in 1669. Emmanuel Tzanes and Poulakis were active painters of the Cretan School until Candia, went to war with the Ottomans around 1649. Poulakis was a member of the Cretan School, his contemporary was Emmanuel Tzanes. He is considered the father of the Heptanese School and one of the most prolific painters of Venetian Crete. Theodore Poulakis ( Greek: Θεόδωρος Πουλάκης 1622–1692) was a Greek Renaissance painter and teacher.
