Georgios Vroutos

He studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts from 1859 to 1864 under Georgios Phitalis[1] and also took courses in marble carving at the workshop of the famous professor and sculptor Ioannis Kossos.

[1][2][3] In 1866, he traveled to Rome with a scholarship from Queen Olga, where he stayed for three years, studying under the supervision of Canova, Adamo, Tantolini and Filippo Niakarini.

The Museum of Boston, bought the statues of Achilles and Paris, both artistic creations of Vroutos.

An unexpectedly bold creation of his is the "Spirit of Copernicus" located at the National Gallery of Athens, sometimes described as a "technical marvel".

[5] The artist creates the feeling that the body of a winged demon is flying, falling towards the Earth's sphere, while it is relying on a garment that has been crushed.
