Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Copied from the gouache painting, and/or from an on-the-spot sketch, by James Stuart, early 1750s, in Antiquities of Athens, Volume i, 1762, Chapter ii, plate i. The comment by Stuart and Revett on the astonishing degree of precision in the carving that had survived in the warm, dry, microclimate of Athens at that time is noted in Chapter 6 of William St Clair's 'Who Saved the Parthenon? A New History of the Acropolis Before, During and After the Greek Revolution' https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0136 The implications of the phenomenon for an understanding of Athens and its institutions in the classical era when the temple was built are considered in The Classical Parthenon, https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0279
