I missed the start of this one. This is an excellent project, Roger, and your work reminds me of Martin's vignettes and the SBS' that he posts of them. Your process, and the quality of your work, I mean. I'm looking forward eagerly to your next updates!
I had never heard of this event, but then, I haven't really studied modern Greek history much beyond its connections to the history of the bigger powers in Europe
Was the flag they presented to the bishop a blue cross of St. George on a white field? I didn't know those were traditional or historical colors for the Greeks, but that they were adopted later, when the Greeks invited a Wittelsbach to be their king.
Prost!

Glad you'll be following this Brad.
The question of the flag, during the revolution there was a multitude of flags belonging to the different leaders and regions. As the Agia lavra event may never have occured I'll be depicting the flag in the painting and it was also the flag of the First National Assembly.
Have a look here for some info, http://www.greeka.com/greece-history/flags.htm
I think the light blue and white of the flag and the connection to the Wittlesbach's is purely coincidental.

Thanks for that link, Roger, I've bookmarked it for my references. I don't recall where I read that about the Wittelsbachs, but I bet now it was a Bavarian who wrote it!
Prost!
