The Coumantaros Art Gallery of Sparta is the first Annex of the National Gallery outside of
\nAthens. The Annex was founded in 1982 after a donation of the neoclassical building and the art
\ncollection of Ioannis Coumandaros by his children, Dolly Goulandris and Georgios Coumandaros.<\/p>\n
On the ground floor is housed the collection of I. Coumandaros, consisting of works by European
\npainters with various subjects from the 16th to the 19th century.<\/p>\n
The first floor, renovated in 2018, houses a new permanent exhibition of works from the
\nNational Gallery, which presents a concise diagram of the history of Modern Greek art, based on
\nthe main artistic trends and the most important themes developed from the first years of the
\ncreation of the Greek State to the present day.<\/p>\n
The permanent exhibition consists of eighty-two works, paintings (71) and sculptures (11), by
\nimportant Greek artists. Their themes include historical painting, portraiture, antiquity, genre
\npainting, symbolism, plein air painting, reflections on the Greek light and Greekness, as well as
\nabstract art.<\/p>\n
