The Temple of Hercules at Cori is a 1838 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows an old temple perched on a rocky hillside. The building has a simple design with columns and a small tower behind it. A lone cypress tree stands in front, and the ground below looks uneven with patches of grass and shadows. The temple’s ruins sit quietly, blending into the landscape. The photo was taken in 1838, when artists often focused on ancient ruins to spark imagination. Next, check out Romanticism to see why old ruins fascinated artists back then.
