'''Georgios Iakovidis''' was a [[Greece|Greek]] painter of the late 19th - early 20th century.

Iakovidis was born in Chydera, [[Lesbos]], on [[January 11]], [[1853]] (though 1852 is also mentioned as a possibility). He was educated mostly in [[Smyrna]], [[Asia Minor]]. In [[1878]], he received a scholarship to study in the Munich Academy of Art where he was taught by Karl von Piloty who had also taught [[Nikiforos Lytras]] and [[Nikolaos Gyzis]].

Iakovidis stayed in Munich several years after his graduation from the Academy. He was considered a successful painter whose works were highly priced. Between 1890 and 1900, his paintings won awards in five international exhibits, including Berlin (1891) and Paris (1900).
In [[1900]], the Greek government invited him to come to [[Athens]] and organise the National Gallery. Iakovidis accepted. Four years later ([[1904]]) he would become professor of the Athens School of Fine Arts, filling in the vacancy left by Lytras' death.

Iakovidis dominated Greek painting for many years. As a professor, he influenced an entire generation of Greek artists. Almost all his paintings have children (mostly boys) and infants as subjects. He died in Athens in [[1932]].

*"The Bad Grandson" (1884)
