Biography:
The painter Vassilios Hatzis (Kastoria, 1870 – Athens, 1915) was a Greek painter. He was born in Kastoria where he came from and when he was still young his family moved to Patras. So from a young age he lived near the sea and traveled on many ships.
He studied the ship in its every detail and captured it in his paintings, sometimes adrift in calm waters and sometimes battered by the waves in rough seas. He also painted subjects of everyday life, landscapes with poor houses, fishing villages captured in soft and calm shades, etc.
Although he did not study in Munich, technical critics include him, due to the eclectic affinity of his works, to the School of Munich. He studied at the School of Arts in Athens, under his teachers Nikiforos Lytra and Konstantinos Volanakis in the years 1886-1893 and then taught in secondary education.
His first participation in an exhibition dates back to 1899 in Athens. In the following years he participated in a series of exhibitions that took place in Athens and Alexandria, Egypt. In 1902 he presented his works for the first time at an exhibition of the Athens City Hall. A year later, in 1903, he opened a workshop together with Nikolaos Alektoridis and at the same time taught drawing courses, where among others he had Pericles Byzantios as his student.
He was also distinguished for the sea war paintings he made during the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) commissioned by the Greek government. The most important of these paintings are: “The Naval Battle of Helles”, “The Naval Battle of Lemnos”, “News of destroyers”, “The Coal Averof”, and “Amphitritis eating the corpse of George I”.
Fifty of his works are in the National Gallery from donations mainly from Alexandros Soutzos and from the Koutlidis Collection. Of the approximately two hundred and sixty works he created, some of them enrich the Municipal Gallery – Museum G. I. Katsigra (Thessalian landscape, etc., the Maritime Museum of Greece, the E. Averof Gallery in Metsovo, etc.) as well as the Collection of the Bank of Greece (seascape), the National Bank and several are in private collections.
He died in 1915 in Athens leaving his work “Last Naval Battle of Byzantium” unfinished.
