Aegina, the Black Forest
Item Information
- Title:
- Aegina, the Black Forest
- Description:
-
"Only at Aegina, so far as I have seen, is there a real - yet it is so beautiful it seems unreal - forest in Greece. Nowhere in the world do the trees in dense, deep shade so cover the slopes that lead down, almost black, to the deep blue sea; and where have I ever seen such a contrast between the bosky woods and the barren cliffs that tower above them? And all this is but a background for one of the most beautiful temples in this beautiful land, placed perfectly, by the greatest artists of the past, in the most exquisite landscape. Yet the guardian told me I was the third person who had visited Aegina between January and April last year." Joseph Pennell, 1914.
