Item Information

Title:
From temple to temple, Girgenti
Description:
"Not only are the lines of the hills, looking toward the sea, perfect, but the builders of these, as of all temples, took advantage of the lines in the landscape, making the temple the focus of a great composition; an art no longer practiced; but the temples of the gods of Greece were more important than the notions of local politicians and landowners and architects." Joseph Pennell.
