EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ancient Greek Temple of Hera in Paestum, Italy. Previously misidentified as a temple dedicated to Poseidon, this engraving by the German School from the 19th century sheds light on its true purpose. The illustration is taken from "Hellas und Rom, eine Kulturgeschichte des Classischen Alterthums" by Jakob von Falke, published around 1878. The image captures the grandeur and magnificence of this historical site, which stands as a testament to ancient Greek architecture and religious practices. The temple's imposing columns and pillars create an awe-inspiring sight that transports us back to the 5th century BC. Paestum itself holds immense cultural significance as it was once part of Magna Graecia, a region where Greek colonies flourished in southern Italy. This temple dedicated to Hera symbolizes not only religious devotion but also serves as a reminder of the strong ties between Greece and Italy throughout history. As we admire this remarkable piece of European heritage, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by different civilizations across time. It serves as a window into our collective past and encourages us to appreciate and preserve these architectural marvels for future generations.
