Konstantinos Maleas (Κωνσταντίνος Μαλέας) (Constantinople, 1879 - Athens, 1928) was one of the most important Post-Impressionist Greek painters of the 20th century.

He travelled extensively in Greece,[3] Western Europe, Palestine and Egypt where he drew some of the subjects for his famous landscapes.

He illustrated the first alphabet book in the new modern Greek language Demotiki (Αλφαβητάρι με τον ήλιο), and wrote articles for newspapers such as Nouma, Elefthero Vima , as well as writing for a number of art journals.

His paintings are characterised by very light and bright colours, the large brushes that revolutionalised the stagnant Athenian art of the time.

[1] Maleas remains one of the most popular Greek modern artists, and his works are exhibited at the National Gallery of Athens and elsewhere.
