EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Philippeion, a remarkable monument located in Olympia, Arcadia, Greece. Standing tall in the Peloponnese region of Southern Europe, this ancient structure dates back to the 8th century BC and is a testament to Greek history and architecture. The Philippeion was built as a memorial by Leochares to honor Philip II of Macedon, who was an influential figure during his time. Made from limestone and marble, its grandeur and intricate design showcase the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Greek builders. Surrounded by columns that reach towards the sky, this monument stands proudly within the sanctuary of Olympia - a place deeply intertwined with Greek mythology and home to the Olympic Games. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost feel the weight of history that permeates through every stone. Neil Farrin's expert photography perfectly captures both the scale and beauty of this archaeological site. The image transports us back in time to an era when Zeus reigned supreme over Western Europe's mainland. With no human presence in sight, we are left alone with our thoughts as we contemplate how such magnificent structures were created so many centuries ago. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore further into Greece's rich historical tapestry.
