NAXOS

 

14x11” Oil on linen $2,500
Naxos was the first Greek island to work with marble. This island led the way in creating fantastic structures and sculptures. In ancient times, marble in Naxos was extracted from the quarries of Apollo. The influence of marble is so great that you can see here streets paved with marble tile. A local workman gains a ride from his beast of burden, traipsing along marble lined alleyways. Time may have moved forward but the essence of Naxos remains the same.
