Parthenon is a 1852 by Eugène Piot, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white photo shows a ruined temple with tall, fluted columns. The front has six big columns, and the roof is mostly gone. Crumbled stones and debris cover the ground around it. The walls behind the columns are broken, with some sections still standing. The photo was taken in 1852, showing how the temple looked after years of wear. The lighting is flat, typical of early photography. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this image is kept.
