About the piece

Painted in 1878 by Charalambos Pachis, this work captures the festive atmosphere of May Day on the island of Corfu. The composition is filled with charming narrative details—from the colorful ribbons on the maypole to the traditional costumes of the musicians—set against the iconic architecture of the Ionian Islands. The play of light and shadow across the square evokes a warm, Mediterranean afternoon.
