EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Ancient Past: The Temples of Hera at Paestum, Italy The captivating view of the ancient Greek temples of Hera at Paestum, Italy, as depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, transports us back to the classical era. This image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1826, showcases the remarkable preservation of these architectural wonders. The three temples, dedicated to the goddess Hera, are among the best-preserved Doric temples in the world. The oldest temple, known as the Temple of Hera I, is the largest and most impressive, with its imposing proportions and perfectly aligned Doric columns. The second temple, Hera II, is slightly smaller and displays similar architectural features. The third temple, Hera III, is the smallest and is often referred to as the "Treasury of Hera." The temples' harmonious design and exquisite details are reminiscent of the Parthenon in Athens, showcasing the influence of ancient Greek architecture on the Italian peninsula. The Propylaea, a monumental gateway leading to the temples, and the Acropolis, a hill on which the temples are situated, further emphasize the grandeur of this ancient sanctuary. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of ancient Greek architecture and the enduring influence it has had on the world. The temples of Hera at Paestum serve as invaluable examples of proportion and design, inspiring architects and artists for centuries.
