A painting of Athens, Greece, by David Welsh
The Temple of Erechtheus, the Acropolis.
Oil on Canvas : 16" x 12", 41cm x31 cm Price, including Frame, £395 The Erechtheum, or Temple of Erechtheus, is on the Acropolis in Athens. It is one of the three main temples, the others being the famous Parthenon, and the temple of Nike, which is part of the gateway or Propylaea. The Erechtheum is known for its Caryatid porch, the Ionic statues of female figures which look towards the Doric Parthenon. In September, the wild grain grows profusely among the ruins, giving the scene an unexpected air of abandonment and peace. |
