Artist Sophia Laskaridou (1876 - 1965) | Greek Painter | WAA

Sophia Laskaridou was born 1876, died 13 November 1965. He was a Greek artist who was well known for her impressionist paintings in the early part of the 20th century. Later she became better known for her life than for her work.

Sophia Laskaridou began painting before receiving any artistic education. At first she focused on landscapes, in part because she did not have the knowledge needed to depict figures. Her decision to paint en plein air was unusual in Greece at the time, particularly for a woman, since there was constant danger from thieves in the countryside. In the period from 1897 to 1907 she participated in important art exhibitions including Zappeion and the International Exhibition of 1903. She studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1907 with teachers Konstantinos Volanakis, Georgios Roilos, Nikiforos Lytras and Georgios Jakobides. She also studied with Spyridon Vikatos. In 1906 she and Thalia Flora staged a joint exhibition, and in 1907 she held a solo exhibition in "Parnassus".
