Parthenon Prints

Parthenon art is a popular choice among history enthusiasts of any kind. This majestic building was originally built as a temple dedicated to Athena and has since then been a mosque, a Christian church, and was nearly completely destroyed! However, some of the most valuable statues and historical art that has ever been discovered was in the Parthenon and it's considered one of the most revealing buildings of the high point in classical Greek culture.

Very few artists attempt the massive reconstruction required for including the Parthenon in their monument art and even fewer attempt to draw the ruin that it is today. However, thanks to photographic building pictures, many art students have studied this particular building and many of the artistic principles that are used today, in art and architecture, were heavily influenced by the ancient statues and paintings of this temples.
