EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glance into the Ancient World: Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus" This hand-coloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar, Germany, in 1792, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world. The image showcases two iconic structures from Greece: the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia. On the left side of the engraving, the Temple of Artemis, located in Ephesus, is depicted in all its grandeur. The temple, dedicated to the goddess Artemis, is surrounded by lush greenery and features six Doric columns adorned with intricate carvings. The temple's impressive scale and ornate details reflect the architectural prowess of the ancient Greeks. On the right side, the mighty Statue of Zeus at Olympia stands tall. The statue, sculpted by Phidias, represents the king of the gods, Zeus, seated on a throne. The intricate details of the statue, including the olive tree trunk throne and the Nike, the goddess of victory, perched on his hand, are beautifully captured in this engraving. The aura of power and divinity emanating from the statue is palpable. This engraving, taken from an educational encyclopedia for children, serves as a testament to the fascination that ancient Greece held for the people of the late 18th century. The natural history and classical wonders of Greece, including the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, were considered essential knowledge for the young minds of the time. This image, with its vibrant hand-colours, continues to inspire awe and wonder, transporting us back to the ancient world.
