In Thee Rejoiceth also known as Epi Si Harri is a tempera and gold leaf painting by Theodore Poulakis. The central figure of the piece is the Virgin Mary. The painting is a tribute to her. Poulakis was from Chania Crete. He was active on the Ionian islands and in Venice during the second half of the 17th century. He was a member of the Cretan School and the father of the Heptanese School. According to the Institute of Neohellenic Research, 130 paintings are attributed to Poulakis.[1]
Poulakis version of In Thee Rejoiceth was inspired by an earlier work created by Klontzas. The painting is also called In Thee Rejoiceth. Another version of a similarly themed painting was created by Francheskos Kavertzas named In You Rejoices. Poulakis version of In Thee Rejoiceth is more closely similar to Klontzas. The Klontzas was created in the second half of the 16th century. The Poulakis painting is currently at the Benaki Museum in Athens, Greece.[2][3][4][5]
