EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, dating back to the 5th century BC. As a symbol of religious devotion and architectural brilliance, this great temple was dedicated to Athena, the revered patron goddess of Athens. Its construction began in c445 BC under the visionary leadership of Pericles and was supervised by Phidias, a renowned sculptor. The Parthenon's grandeur is evident through its imposing marble pillars that stand tall against the backdrop of ancient Greece.
