Temple of Jupiter Olympius

About this work

This black-and-white photo shows six tall stone columns standing in a row. Some columns are broken or missing parts, and the ground around them is rocky and uneven. A few people are scattered nearby—some standing, some sitting—giving a sense of scale to the huge ruins. The columns have detailed carvings near the top, but time and weather have worn them down. This photo was likely taken a long time ago, when ruins like these were still being explored. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this image in person.
