EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the majestic interior of the Parthenon, one of ancient Greece's most iconic architectural wonders. Illustrated by Jules Ferrario and engraved by G. Castellini in 1821, this color engraving beautifully captures the grandeur and intricate details of this historic site. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vaulted roof that stretches above us, showcasing its remarkable craftsmanship. The play of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing effect on the Doric columns that line both sides of the temple's interior, adding depth and dimension to the scene. At the heart of this awe-inspiring space stands a statue of Goddess Athene, exuding grace and power as she watches over her sacred domain. Her presence adds an air of mystique and reverence to an already breathtaking setting. The voute à compartiments design further enhances the visual appeal with its segmented arches that create a sense of rhythm throughout the space. Each compartment seems to tell a story from ancient times, inviting us to imagine what life was like within these hallowed walls. This engraving is not only a testament to Alessandro Sanquirico's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable historical document preserved in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. It allows us to appreciate both the architectural brilliance and cultural significance embodied within every stone of this magnificent temple.
