Western Portico of the Parthenon is a 1882 by William James Stillman, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows a long, shadowy hallway made of stone blocks. The floor is uneven, with some broken sections and debris scattered around. Tall columns line both sides, leading your eyes toward a bright opening at the far end. The light at the end looks like sunlight, making the walls and steps look rough and worn. The photo feels like it was taken a long time ago, showing how old and weathered the stonework is. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this image is kept.
William James Stillman (June 1, 1828 – July 6, 1901) was an American journalist, diplomat, author, historian, and photographer.
