1913
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Treasury of Athens, Delphi is a 1913 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a rocky hillside with a winding path leading up to a small temple. The temple has tall columns and sits on a raised platform, surrounded by uneven stones. Clouds hang low in the sky, and the distant mountains fade into soft lines. The artist focused on the temple’s simple, sturdy shape against the rough terrain. The path looks steep and uneven, as if it was carved into the hillside by hand. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Look up Pennell, Joseph.
