Alexandros Kaloudis studied painting, for ten years, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was taught by Alexandre Cabanel and Magnan.

In February 1886 he was appointed a professor at the School of Fine Art, Athens where he taught in various positions up and until 1916.

Kaloudis worked on portraiture and composition, but his great passion was still life with either fruit or sweet, where he excelled. His work is influenced by the work of Gustave Courbet.

Masterful composition, the precision of line and colour coordination are elements that characterise his work. A master of academic work, he creates beautiful atmospheric works expressed from the subtle use of colour. All parts in his compositions merge in a poetic whole.

Kaloudis participated in many prestigious international group exhibitions such as the 1876, 1877, 1878 and 1880 Salon des Artists Vivants, Paris, the 1878 Exposition Universelle Internationale, Paris and the 1903 Alexandria Exhibition.

His works are found in many private and public collections such as at the National Gallery of Greece, the Municipal Gallery, Athens, the Koutlides Collection and the Leventis Gallery.
