1860s Acropolis Active 1858 Arch Athens Dimitrios Constantin Greek Hadrian Southeast Temple

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of Athens' iconic Acropolis from the southeast, showcasing its majestic beauty. The photographer, Dimitrios Constantin, a Greek artist active in the late 19th century, skillfully composed this image to highlight not only the grandeur of the Acropolis but also two significant landmarks within its vicinity. In the foreground stands the magnificent Temple of Zeus Olympios, an ancient marvel dedicated to Zeus, king of gods. Its towering columns and intricate architectural details are a testament to Greece's rich history and cultural heritage. Adjacent to it is another remarkable structure known as the Arch of Hadrian, an imposing gateway that once marked the boundary between old and new Athens. The albumen silver print technique used by Constantin adds depth and richness to this historical photograph. It allows us to appreciate every minute detail captured in this stunning composition - from the delicate carvings on each column to the subtle play of light on stone. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to 1865 when Constantin immortalized this scene forever. It serves as a reminder of Athens' enduring legacy as one of civilization's great centers and invites us to marvel at its timeless beauty.
