Charalambos Pachis

[2] Pachis was influenced by the work of Dionysios Tsokos and the philhellene artists of the 19th century.

[3] After a study trip to various European cities, he returned to Corfu in 1870, where he taught briefly at the "Kapodistrias School".

[1] He apparently put together a huge collection of costumes for use in his classes, which he later sold to provide dowries for his daughters, one of whom married Samartzis.

His most famous historical scenes are depictions of the assassination of Kapodistrias, the Dance of Zalongo and the hanging of Gregory V. He also painted portraits, landscapes and illustrations for hagiographic works.

His major showings include the National Exhibitions at the Zappeion in 1875 and 1888, and the Exposition Universelle (1878).
