Parthenon Was Illuminated in Ancient Greece, Study Shows

“They Were Working With Special Effects in a Sense”

by Emily Snow

#architecture #greekhistory #greece

The Parthenon by Frederic Edwin Church

"Church visited Greece in 1869 and spent several weeks in Athens. There, he painted numerous studies and oil sketches of the ruins of the Parthenon that later served as the basis for this work. Although he intended to paint a large canvas of the Parthenon while still in Greece, it was not until 1871 that a commission from the financier and philanthropist Morris K. Jesup permitted Church to begin this large canvas. By February of that year, he was already at work on "a big Parthenon". By May, he had apparently finished the painting and wrote of his concern for its proper lighting in Jesup's home. The picture was first exhibited in New York at Goupil's Gallery in 1872 where it was highly acclaimed. It appeared subsequently in many major exhibitions, including the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1878." - from the Internet Archive

Nightfall In Lincoln

As the sun begins to set this street by the side of Lincoln Cathedral goes quiet. Deserted and silent, not even a little mouse with clogs on.

Atop The Methodist Church

Perched on a spire at the front of Chepstow Methodist Church sits a seagull. You perhaps wouldn't notice her unless she was pointed out to you. I can't guarantee she'll be there tomorrow, but, you never know.

St Germans Church, Cornwall

Two marvels in one: the Norman portal on the West front is unrivalled in the county, with seven orders of decoration, built of beautiful sage-green stone from Tarten Down at nearby Landrake. The wooden door was commissioned in 1903 by the Countess of St Germans, and sports a bronze door handle designd by Henry Wilson, featuring beautifully tactile fish. Also shown in my profile image.

An enormous rounded-arch doorway with lots of zig-zag decoration that continues into the uprights either side. It is set within a gable roof with a celtic cross at the apex. Behind is the west wall of the church with several lancet windows visible.

Ignore this post. I need to pin my bio hashtags in a post because the bio links frustratingly break out of the advanced web view in this Mastodon build and they're my shortcut way of browsing posts. Hoping they fix this in a later build.

At three storeys high, the courthouse is the tallest building in our little town, unless you want to count the grain elevators.

Its 19th century construction reflects a time and attitude when there was attention to quality of materials, artistic detail, and pride in workmanship. It wasn't just slapped up there in the cheapest manner possible, as fast as could be done.

Palace Of Fine Arts/Columns And Curves

The Palace Of Fine Arts is one of ten structures of this nature built for the 1915 Pan-American Exposition in San Francisco California.
This is located in the Marina District of the city only a few blocks up off the San Francisco Bay.

Palace Of Fine Arts/Columns And Curves

Warm late‑afternoon light pours across the Palace of Fine Arts, igniting the sandstone columns in a deep, honey‑gold glow. The architecture rises with a quiet, commanding elegance—massive fluted pillars curving into graceful arches that feel both ancient and impossibly alive. Shadows slip between the columns like soft velvet, adding depth and mystery, while the sky beyond opens into a clear, luminous blue that feels almost painted.

There’s a gentle stillness in the scene, the kind that makes you instinctively slow your breathing. The trees framing the structure add a whisper of movement, their leaves catching the light like tiny green sparks.

This photograph doesn’t just show architecture—it invites the viewer into a moment of serenity, history, and awe. It’s the kind of image that transforms a room: warm enough for a living space, sophisticated enough for an office, and timeless enough for collectors who appreciate classical lines and atmospheric light.

Why buyers connect with this piece:

It radiates calm, making it ideal for spaces that need grounding energy.

The warm tones and clean architectural lines pair effortlessly with modern, rustic, or traditional décor.

It captures one of San Francisco’s most iconic structures in a way that feels intimate, almost cinematic.

The composition draws the eye inward, making it a natural focal point on any wall.
