EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Louis Ducros, titled 'View of the old Temple of Athena (Minerva) on the island of Syracuse, 1778,' is an exquisite example of the Romantic era's fascination with ancient Greek culture and architecture. Ducros, a Swiss artist, created this chalk on paper drawing as part of his album 'Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta.' The temple, believed to date back to the 5th century BC, is depicted with its Doric facade standing proudly against the backdrop of the Sicilian landscape. The temple, once dedicated to the ancient Greek goddess Athena, or Minerva in Roman mythology, is shown with its intricate columns and ornate friezes, now partially obscured by the encroaching weeds and plants, adding a sense of history and decay. The drawing also captures the essence of the Romantic era with its focus on the picturesque and the sublime. The background is filled with figures, some of whom are likely local residents, adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The water and plants in the foreground further enhance the natural beauty of the drawing, while the temple's location by the sea adds to its allure. This drawing is not only a testament to Ducros' artistic skill but also to the enduring fascination with the ancient world during the Romantic era. Today, it is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
