EDITORS COMMENTS
Persecution Portal, Ephesus (c.1820) is an evocative and enigmatic black chalk drawing on cream wove paper, depicting the ruins of an ancient Ionian gateway in Ephesus, Turkey. The image, created in the 1820s by an unknown artist, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Greece and Turkey. The drawing portrays the Persecution Portal, an architectural feature of the ancient city of Ephesus, which was renowned for its diverse population and religious tolerance during the Roman period. However, this tolerance was tested in the early Christian era when Emperor Decius ordered the persecution of Christians in 250 AD. The portal, with its intricate carvings and archway, bears the marks of this tumultuous period in history, earning it the name 'Persecution Portal.' The drawing captures the essence of the portal's historical significance, as well as the beauty and intricacy of its design. The monochrome image, created using black chalk on cream wove paper, highlights the contrast between the light and shadow, bringing out the details of the portal's ornate carvings and the texture of the ruined stone. The Persecution Portal, Ephesus (c.1820) is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient ruins and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. The drawing is a valuable addition to any art collection, art centre, art gallery, or art institute, serving as a reminder of the past and inspiring curiosity and wonder about the stories and people that once inhabited this ancient city.
