Created around 1835 by Peter von Hess, a renowned German artist, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing historical events with precision. At its center stands Metropolitan Germanos III of Old Patras, an influential figure who played a crucial role in igniting the flames of rebellion against Ottoman rule. With unwavering determination and courage, he raises high the banner symbolizing liberty at Agia Lavra Monastery - an iconic site where Greeks gathered to declare their fight for independence.
