EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Parthenon of Athens. Taken from Jacques Carrey's drawing in 1674, it captures the intricate detail of the west pediment's right side before its unfortunate destruction in 1687 due to an explosion. The Parthenon, a symbol of ancient Greek civilization and architectural brilliance, stands tall against the backdrop of Athens, Greece. In this particular image, we see a late man and woman depicted on the frieze relief. Their figures are beautifully sculpted with precision and elegance, showcasing Carrey's artistic talent. Every line and curve tells a story of their existence within this grand structure. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as every fold in their garments, every strand of hair seems meticulously captured by Carrey's skilled hand. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within such masterpieces. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one aspect of what made Ancient Greece so extraordinary - its artistry and craftsmanship that have stood the test of time.
