EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reconstruction of the Great Altar at the Ancient Greek city of Pergamon in Asia Minor. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is a testament to the remarkable architecture and rich history of this ancient site. The Great Altar, depicted here with meticulous detail, was a significant religious structure within Pergamon. It stood proudly on the acropolis, adorned with statues, columns, and pillars that exuded grandeur and artistic excellence. Built during the 2nd century BC under Eumenes II's patronage, it served as a place for worship and sacred rituals. This image not only captures the magnificence of ancient Greek art but also provides valuable insights into their religious practices. The intricate carvings on the altar depict scenes from mythology and historical events that held great significance to worshippers. Today, Pergamon stands as a symbol of archaeological wonder and cultural heritage. Situated in modern-day Turkey's central region, it continues to attract visitors from all over Europe and beyond who are eager to explore its ancient ruins. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Greece's most impressive architectural achievements. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights how art can transcend time to inspire generations across centuries.
