EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the restored Temple of Athene Parthenos. Created by artist E Thiersch in 1886, this engraving showcases a vivid imagining of the interior of the temple dedicated to the goddess Athena within the iconic Parthenon building in Athens, Greece. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where architectural marvels stood as testaments to human ingenuity and devotion. The grandeur of this sacred space is evident through intricate details captured in monochrome. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn towards a magnificent statue representing Pallas Athene herself - a deity revered for her wisdom and strategic warfare prowess. In this hallowed sanctuary, one can almost sense the lingering aroma of incense that once filled its air during religious ceremonies. The atmosphere exudes reverence and spirituality as worshippers would have gathered here to pay homage to their beloved goddess. As we admire this Victorian-era interpretation of Greek mythology and religion, it serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with faith throughout history. This print not only captures an architectural masterpiece but also encapsulates centuries-old beliefs and cultural heritage that continue to inspire awe even today.
