EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the majestic Erechtheion, a temple nestled atop the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The photograph, taken between 1920-1930, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient masterpiece. Built during the years 421 - 406 BC by renowned artist Filokles, the Erechtheion stands as a testament to classical Greek art and architecture. Its grandeur is evident in every intricate detail showcased within its walls. From the imposing portico to the iconic caryatids that grace its facade, each element tells a story of ancient civilization. The image takes us on an archaeological journey through time as we explore various building elements and decorations found within this architectural marvel. The entablature exudes elegance while period-specific clothing worn by individuals adds a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. Alinari's photography skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of Erechtheion but also evokes a sense of wonder about life during that era. It invites us to imagine what it was like for people living amidst such incredible craftsmanship and surrounded by breathtaking views of Athens. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artwork, we are reminded once again why Greece holds such significance in European history. Alinari's expert lens allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Filokles' creation and our shared human heritage rooted in ancient civilizations.
