View of the Parthenon from the Propylea

This is a reproduction of “View of the Parthenon from the Propylea” of 1821 by Edward Dodwell.  This image appeared in Dodwell’s volume Views in Greece which was published in London in 1821, the year of the Greek War of Independence.  It shows the contemporary buildings which were on the Akropolis during the 375 year Turkish occupation of Athens.  The Irish-born artist was fifty-four when the volume was published and had been living and traveling in Italy and Greece since 1801.  He died in Rome on May 13, 1832.
