EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Collection of Original Drawings for Temples at Bassac" by Charles Robert Cockerell, a renowned English architect. The artwork, created in 1860, depicts the elevation and partial structure of the roof of the Temples of Jupiter Panhellenius at Aegina in ancient Greece. The drawing beautifully captures the essence of Greek architecture with its meticulously detailed columns and Doric order. The artist's use of wash, watercolor, and graphite on paper adds depth and texture to the composition. Every element is carefully rendered, from the intricate triglyphs to the ornate frieze that adorns the temple. This piece not only serves as a study in architectural design but also provides valuable insights into ancient Greek culture. Through his meticulous notes and features depicted in this drawing, Cockerell offers viewers a glimpse into how these temples were constructed during their time. As part of Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork represents an important contribution to our understanding of classical architecture. It evokes a sense of grandeur associated with archaeological discoveries made during Europe's Grand Tour era. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this masterpiece through their lens without any commercial intent.
