Epaminondas Thomopoulos was born in Patras in 1878.

Between 1896 and 1899 he studied in Naples at the Accademia di Belle Arti in the workshops of D. Morelli and F. Palizzi where he was awarded repeatedly. He continued his studies in Rome at the Accademia di Belle Arti for fourteen months under F. Jacovacci and A. Mancini. Between 1901 and 1903 he settled down in Venice where he furthered his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in painting at the workshop of L. Nono and fresco with Piaziate.

In 1915, Thomopoulos was elected a professor at the School of Fine Art, Athens, a position he held until his retirement in 1948.

In 1927 he was awarded the prestigious Academy of Athens award; in 1945 was elected a member and in 1962 was elected president of the same institution.

Thomopoulos work moves between academicism and early Greek impressionism. The majority of his paintings are inspired by nature with few exceptions, such as the work presented here. Another important work by Thomopoulos are the frescoes of the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Patras.

He presented his work at the Venice Biennale (1934,1939) and the Panhellenic Exhibition (1938, 1939, 1940, 1948, 1952, 1957, 1960, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975). Additionally, he presented his work in Cairo, Alexandria, Rome, Florence, Antwerp and New York.

His work can is found in the collections of the National Gallery of Greece, the Municipal Gallery of Athens, the Municipality of Patras, the Averoff Gallery, the Leventis Gallery, the Katsigras Collection, the Koutlides Collection and in many public and private collections in Greece and abroad.
