EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print titled "Entrance to the Stadion, Olympia, Greece, 1937" takes us back in time to the ancient archaeological site of Olympia. Captured by artist Martin Hurlimann as part of his work on Mediterranean architecture and landscape, this image showcases a remarkable architectural feature from the 5th century BC. The photograph reveals a stone corridor leading into the stadion, an iconic ruin that once hosted grand athletic competitions during ancient times. The archway stands tall amidst the ruins, serving as a testament to Greece's rich history and architectural prowess. Hurlimann's monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of this historical site. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the masonry structure while emphasizing its weathered beauty. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness how nature has gracefully reclaimed these ruins over centuries. With its intricate details and timeless appeal, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into both past glory and present decay. It serves as a reminder of our collective human heritage and invites contemplation about the passage of time. As we admire Hurlimann's skillful depiction of Olympia's entranceway, let us appreciate not only his artistic talent but also our responsibility to preserve such cultural treasures for future generations.
