EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the majestic beauty of ancient Greece. The subject of this image is the iconic Erechtheion, an architectural marvel situated on the Acropolis. Created by Themistocles von Eckenbrecher in 1890, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in pen and ink drawing. The Erechtheion stands as a testament to Greek heritage and artistry. Its intricate design features caryatids - sculpted female figures serving as columns - which add an air of elegance and grace to its exterior. This temple holds great religious significance, dedicated to both Athena Polias and Poseidon-Erechtheus. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when ancient ruins were still being discovered through archaeological endeavors. The background people further emphasize the sense of exploration and discovery that surrounded these sites during that era. The artist's use of watercolor over black chalk creates a striking contrast between light and dark tones, enhancing the overall scenic quality of this landscape. Every stroke captures the essence of Greece's rich history while showcasing Eckenbrecher's artistic prowess. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this print serves as a reminder not only of our cultural heritage but also invites us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such magnificent structures centuries ago.
