Christodoulos Kalergis (Greek: Χριστόδουλος Καλέργης, 1678-1683 –1740), also known as Christodoulos Kallergis. He is one of the few Greek painters that were not from Crete or the Ionian Islands. He was from the Cyclades. He was active on the island of Mykonos and the Peloponnese Region. He is a member of the Neo-Hellenikos Diafotismos in art and the Greek Rococo period. Emmanuel Skordilis brought the art of Crete to the Cyclades. He influenced Kalergis and other local artists. Kalergis's most notable piece is the Virgin and Child. His art resembles a mixture of late Byzantine art and the Venetian influenced maniera greca. Ten of his paintings and four frescos have survived. Around the period, another famous artist Nikolaos Kallergis shared the same last name.[1][2][3][4]

History

Kalergis was born on the island Mykonos. Not much is known about his life. Historians have followed the trail of signatures and dates based on frescos in different places. His first dated work was in Cynuria at the Monastery of Theotokos Artocostas around 1698. Two years later he was in Megali Vrisi, Laconia at the Church of Prodromou. In 1706, he frescoed the church of Agios Ioannis in Milia, Messenia. He frescoed the Church of Saint Nicholas in the Castle of Zarnata before 1715. It is also located in the Mani region close to Avia. By 1719, he was back on the Cyclades on the island of Serifos. The artist frescoed the Moni Taxiarchon Serifos. Some of his icons are on the islands of Amorgos, Mykonos, and Serifos. Here is one example of his signatures: διά χειρός ε­μού Χριστοδούλου Καλλέργη εκ νήσου Μυκόνου.[5]

Christódoulos Kalérgis, en grec moderne : Χριστόδουλος Καλέργης, 1678-1683 –1740, est l'un des rares peintres grecs d'icônes et de fresques à ne pas être originaire de Crète ou des îles Ioniennes. Il est originaire de Mykonos dans les Cyclades et est actif sur l'île de Mykonos et dans la région du Péloponnèse. Il est du mouvement des Lumières grecques modernes (Neo-Hellenikos Diafotismos), pour l'art et la période du rococo grec. Emmanouíl Skordílis (en), qui a apporté l'art de la Crète dans les Cyclades, a influencé Kalérgis et d'autres artistes locaux. L'œuvre la plus remarquable de Kalérgis est la Vierge à l'Enfant. Son art ressemble à un mélange de l'art byzantin tardif et de la maniera greca (en) influencée par les Vénitiens. Dix de ses peintures et quatre fresques ont été conservées. À la même époque, un autre artiste célèbre, Nikoláos Kalérgis, portait le même nom de famille[1],[2],[3],[4].
