EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to ancient Athens during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, circa 130 AD. The image showcases the city's remarkable architecture and rich civilization. In the foreground, we are drawn to the serene River Ilissos, gently flowing through the landscape. As our gaze moves towards the center left, we behold a magnificent sight - the newly-completed Olympeion or Temple of Olympian Zeus standing tall against the sky. Its grandeur is awe-inspiring and speaks volumes about Athenian craftsmanship. However, it is impossible not to be captivated by what lies in the top right corner - none other than the iconic Parthenon perched atop Acropolis hill. This majestic temple dedicated to Athena Parthenos stands as a testament to ancient Greece's architectural prowess and cultural significance. The composition of this photograph by Buhlman perfectly captures both natural beauty and human achievement. It allows us to appreciate how these monumental structures harmoniously coexist with their surroundings while leaving an indelible mark on history. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from Archive Photos/Getty Images, we cannot help but marvel at Athens' timeless allure and its enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations around the world.
