EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Greek architecture, specifically highlighting examples of the Ionic and Corinthian orders. Taken from The National Encyclopaedia published around 1890, this engraving by an unknown artist transports us back to ancient Greece. The image captures a mesmerizing spiral of architectural wonders that adorned Athens and other cities in Greece. The Ionic order is represented by its distinctive pillars with scroll-like capitals, while the Corinthian order stands out with its intricately fluted columns topped by ornate leafy capitals. These magnificent temples and buildings were not just structures but symbols of power, culture, and artistry during classical times. They embodied the grandeur and sophistication of Greek civilization. One notable structure depicted here is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, also known as the Lantern of Diogenes. Its elegant design features a spiraling frieze showcasing scenes from Dionysus' life. Another remarkable sight is the Temple of Athena Polias on Nissos Island, which boasts impressive Ionic columns supporting its majestic roof. As we gaze upon this historical treasure captured through Ken Welsh's lens, we are reminded of how Greek architecture continues to inspire awe even centuries later. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity that has stood the test of time.
