The Reception of Lord Byron at Missolonghi The Reception of Lord Byron at Missolonghi The Lord Byron reception at Missolonghi is an oil painting created by Theodore Vryzakis in 1861. It is exhibited at the National Gallery, Athens. It depicts the arrival of the English philhellene Lord Byron at Missolonghi and his welcome. He appears to be coming from the port, accompanied by his friend Edward John Trelawny and numerous soldiers who are cheering. The local authorities and Alexandros Mavrokordatos, who had invited him, welcome him. Art historians point to the stiff, lifeless and rigid forms of the figures. Specifically, Stelios Lydakis calls them: "dummies like steel".
