EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Cariatides du Temple de l'Erechteion in Athens, Greece. Taken by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils in 1872, this albumen silver print beautifully captures the intricate details of these ancient architectural wonders. The Erechtheion temple is renowned for its six female figures known as caryatids, which serve as columns supporting the structure's entablature. These graceful maidens are depicted wearing flowing drapery and carrying baskets on their heads, adding an elegant touch to the temple's design. Bonfils' keen eye for composition and lighting brings out every delicate feature of these caryatids. The contrast between light and shadow accentuates their sculpted forms while highlighting the weathered texture of the stone. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to ancient Athens. We can almost feel the weight of history surrounding us as we admire these timeless works of art that have withstood centuries of wear and tear. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to both Bonfils' skillful craftsmanship behind the lens and his dedication to preserving cultural heritage through photography. It allows us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also provides a glimpse into one of Greece's most treasured landmarks – a true masterpiece frozen in time.
