Périclès Pantazis (

In 1873, with a reference letter from Manet, he moved to Brussels, Belgium. A notable Greek wine businessman, Jean Économou, was particularly interested in his skills and commissioned a large number of Pantazis paintings. In Belgium, Pantazis became a member of an anti-academic artistic group called Circle de la pâte (meaning the circle of colour), and a member of Les XX.^[3]

He became close friends with painter Guillaume Vogels and sculptor, Auguste Philippette, whose sister he married a few years later. In Brussels, initially he worked as a home decorator for Vogels, but later he was dedicated to painting as he became increasingly known for his talent. In 1878 he represented Greece at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. He died of chronic tuberculosis^[4] at the age of 34.
