EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Monument to Lysicrates, located in the historic city of Athens. Captured by the talented photographer Felix Bonfils around 1870, this image allows us to appreciate the grandeur and intricate details of this ancient structure. Dating back to 335 BC, this monumental work of art stands as a testament to Greek civilization and its architectural prowess. The monument's foundation, building elements, and decorative sections are beautifully captured in this photograph. Its towering column adorned with delicate carvings is an awe-inspiring sight that transports us back in time. The Monument to Lysicrates served a funerary purpose, honoring a wealthy patron named Lysicrates who sponsored theatrical performances during ancient Greece. Its elegant capital and architrave display exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of non-Christian European art, we can't help but marvel at how it has survived centuries of history. It serves as a reminder not only of Greece's rich cultural heritage but also its enduring influence on architecture worldwide. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have the privilege of appreciating this stunning photograph that encapsulates both the beauty and historical significance of the Monument to Lysicrates in Athens.
