EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic ruins and Acropolis Rock in the Temple of Athena Polia, dating back to the mid-4th century BC. The image, captured by an anonymous Greek School photographer from the 4th century BC, transports us to Priene, Turkey. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of this ancient architectural marvel with its pure Ionic style columns and classical design. It is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Pythius, who built this magnificent temple. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the passage of time and how even great structures can succumb to ruin. Yet amidst these crumbling remains lies a sense of enduring beauty that continues to captivate our imagination. The imposing presence of Acropolis Rock adds another layer of grandeur to this scene. Its towering height serves as a reminder that nature too plays a role in shaping history. Through John Bethell's lens, we are given a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. This photograph invites us on a journey through time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and historical significance held within these ancient ruins. In this moment frozen in time, we find ourselves contemplating humanity's ability to create lasting legacies while also acknowledging our own impermanence against the backdrop of eternity.
