About This Design

Parthenon_01 Poster

Parthenon_01 Poster

A view of Parthenon on the Acropolis. The temple of Athena, the Virgin ("parthenos" in Greek) Goddess, protector of Athens, at the top of the Acropolis. Its construction, on the site of two earlier temples to Athena Parthenos, the second of which was yet unfinished when it was destroyed by the Persians in 480 B. C., was ordered by Pericles and took 10 years, from 447 to 438 B. C., date of its inauguration during the Panathenæa of that year, but the decoration was not completed until 432. The architects who built it were Ictinus and Callicrates, working under the leadership of Phidias, a friend and art councelor of Pericles, who sculpted the chryselephantine (meaning "plated with gold ("chrusos" in Greek) and ivory ("elephas, elephantos" in Greek)") statue of Athena that was inside the temple (Thucydides tells us in his Histories, II, 13, 5, that forty talents of pure gold had been used for the plating of the statue, and could be removed in case of financial need).

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
