Spiridione Roma (c. 1735 – 15 June 1786), also known as Spiridon or Spyridon Romas (Greek: Σπυρίδων Ρώμας), was a Greek painter from Corfu. He was a prominent member of the Heptanese School. His contemporary was Spyridon Sperantzas. He was another painter from Corfu. He also painted all over Italy and settled in Triste. Romas painted on the Ionian Islands, Sicily, and Livorno before settling in England.[2] He was one of the few Greek painters to travel to a foreign country outside of the Greek or Italian world. The other two were El Greco and Efstathios Altinis. He was also a British painter during the last decades of his life. He was active in the region from 1770 to 1786. According to the Hellenic Institute, over twenty-five of his works survived. He was the British El Greco. His most popular work is a painting entitled The East Offering its Riches to Britannia.[3][4][5][6]
