Messolonghi Lagoon and Garden of Heroes, Messolonghi
Messolonghi is two places in one watery frame: the sacred and the salty. In the town stands the Garden of Heroes, the walled garden where the defenders of the great siege of 1825–26 are buried, Byron among the commemorated — the poet died here of fever in 1824, Greece's most famous foreign volunteer. And all around spreads the lagoon, a maze of shallows, salt pans and reedbeds where fishermen still live in pelades, wooden houses on stilts, and flamingos winter among the grey mullet fisheries. Western Greece's named absence between Nafpaktos and the Ionian joins the gallery.

About this artwork
Messolonghi is two places in one watery frame: the sacred and the salty. In the town stands the Garden of Heroes, the walled garden where the defenders of the great siege of 1825–26 are buried, Byron among the commemorated — the poet died here of fever in 1824, Greece's most famous foreign volunteer. And all around spreads the lagoon, a maze of shallows, salt pans and reedbeds where fishermen still live in pelades, wooden houses on stilts, and flamingos winter among the grey mullet fisheries. Western Greece's named absence between Nafpaktos and the Ionian joins the gallery. Afternoon is overcast, cloud cover about 94 percent, about 16.0°C, and dry.
