EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the majestic Eastern portico of the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. The print, created in 1803 by William Pars, showcases the remarkable architecture and grandeur of this ancient Greek monument. The Parthenon, a symbol of classical Greece and one of the most famous buildings in the world, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic mastery. Its intricate columns and detailed friezes are beautifully depicted in this engraving, allowing viewers to appreciate its timeless beauty. Pars' illustration was originally featured in James Athenian Stuart's "Antiquities of Athens" in 1789 before being engraved by William Lowry for Abraham Rees' "Cyclopedia". This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Florilegius.

It allows us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring structure while also appreciating Pars' talent as an artist. Whether you're an enthusiast for antiquity or simply captivated by beautiful imagery, this print is sure to leave a lasting impression.
