The exedra, a fascinating architectural feature found in various historical sites around the world, has captivated the minds of both architects and art enthusiasts alike. From the elevation and floor plan of a house in Pompeii to the circular exedra of the Grand Court in Baalbek, Lebanon, these structures have left an indelible mark on our cultural heritage. One such example is Buckland House 33251_032, where a breathtaking view from one of its exedras offers a glimpse into the enchanting Orange Tree Garden with its temple's portico. The delicate pen and ink strokes combined with watercolors on paper bring this scene to life. In Chiswick, we witness an early design for an exedra that showcases meticulous details through pen and ink washes on paper. This artistic representation transports us back in time as we imagine strolling through this magnificent structure. Polyhymnia, Muse of Eloquence depicted in oil on canvas serves as a testament to how exedras were not only architectural marvels but also sources of inspiration for artists throughout history. The intricate engravings showcasing Cypriote Antiquities discovered at temples like Artemis at Achna and Salamis further emphasize their significance. A pencil sketch reveals another perspective - Chiswick's exedra adorned with sculptures strategically placed within its grandeur. This artwork allows us to appreciate how sculpture played an integral role in enhancing these architectural wonders. Landscape paintings originating from various exedras transport us into serene natural settings where we can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through lush greenery or hear birds chirping amidst tranquil surroundings. Bush House fronting Kingsway stands tall with its impressive elevation captured beautifully in black-and-white photography. Its prominent presence reminds us that even modern buildings can draw inspiration from ancient architectural elements like the exedra.
