EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the Valley of Olympia, Greece, before any archaeological excavations had taken place. The German School of the 19th century beautifully captures the essence of this historical site, which would later become a treasure trove for archaeologists and history enthusiasts alike. The image showcases a serene landscape with rolling hills and a meandering river that cuts through the valley. It is as if time has stood still in this ancient Greek countryside. The ruins of what was once a thriving civilization can be seen scattered across the land, hinting at the rich history that lies beneath. The Valley of Olympia holds great significance as it was home to one of the most important sanctuaries in ancient Greece - Olympia itself. This sacred site hosted the Olympic Games every four years, attracting athletes from all corners of Greece to compete in various sporting events. Adolf Boetticher's book "Olympia" serves as inspiration for this illustration, providing valuable insights into this remarkable archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where gods were worshipped and athletic prowess revered. This engraving not only captures the beauty of nature but also ignites our curiosity about what lies buried beneath its surface. It reminds us that even centuries later, there are still secrets waiting to be unearthed by those who dare to delve into history's mysteries.
