EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate design of the ancient Erechtheion temple complex in Athens, Greece. Dated back to 1826, this illustration was created by Giulio Ferrario for his publication "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" (The Ancient and Modern Costume). The Erechtheion, a renowned architectural masterpiece, is depicted in meticulous detail with its various structures identified and labeled. The central temple, labeled as "A. Erechtheion," is surrounded by four other structures: "B. Temple of Neptune," "C. Porch of the Caryatids," and "D. Temple of Pandrosus." The Erechtheion's Ionic columns, with their distinctive fluted design and elegant capitals, are a testament to the refined craftsmanship of ancient Greek architecture. The Porch of the Caryatids (C) is particularly noteworthy, featuring six columns in the shape of female figures, known as Caryatids. These columns, instead of the usual stone, are carved from marble to represent the female figures, making this a unique architectural feature. The Temple of Minerva Polias (C) is another significant structure in the complex, with its Corinthian columns and intricate capitals. The various elements of this ancient site are presented in stunning detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of ancient Greek architecture. This engraving is not only a valuable historical record but also an exquisite work of art, showcasing the skill and artistry of Giulio Ferrario and the printing techniques of the time.
