EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a restored glimpse of the magnificent Temple of Zeus at Olympia. Standing tall against the backdrop of ancient Greece, this architectural marvel was built between c470-457BC and exudes an aura of grandeur and historical significance. The image, sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier in 1890, showcases the temple's symmetrical design with its impressive columns reaching towards a high ceiling. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this depiction, emphasizing the intricate details that adorn every inch of this sacred space. As we observe the picture closely, we notice background figures who provide scale to comprehend the sheer size and magnitude of this religious sanctuary. The Temple at Olympia served as a place for worshiping deities, including Zeus himself - their statues standing proudly within its walls. This photograph not only captures an architectural feature but also serves as a window into history. It transports us to another era where literature and art intertwined with religion and mythology. It invites us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such monumental structures and their cultural significance within Greek society. With each glance at this remarkable print, our imagination is ignited as we envision ourselves stepping inside those hallowed halls in awe-inspiring reverence for what once stood there centuries ago.
