EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent view of the Propylaea, the entrance to the iconic Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Captured by Giovanni Antonio Sasso in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully depicts the grandeur of Greek architecture. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the imposing structure of the Propylaea itself, with its impressive Doric and Ionic columns standing tall against a clear blue sky. To the right of this architectural marvel stands the Temple of Athena Nike, an exquisite testament to ancient Greek craftsmanship. On the left side of the image, we catch a glimpse of a building adorned with paintings by renowned Greek painter Polignotus. The composition transports us back in time to an era when these structures were at their prime. It is evident that Sasso's attention to detail and skillful use of color bring life and vibrancy to this historical scene. As we admire this illustration from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern" we can't help but appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a window into history. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these architectural wonders continue to captivate our imagination and stand as testaments to human ingenuity. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has once again provided us with a remarkable piece that allows us to delve into both fashion history and cultural heritage through artistry captured on paper.
