Gezicht op Korinthe 1845

"Gezicht op Korinthe" (1845) by Claude-Félix-Théodore Caruelle d' Aligny is a detailed black and white lithograph depicting the ruins of the Temple of Apollo in Corinth, Greece. The scene is dominated by a large, rocky hill in the background and a row of standing columns in the foreground. The artist’s attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the landscape, including the lush vegetation and the distant cityscape. The work is a fine example of the 19th-century Romantic interest in the classical past and the power of nature. D' Aligny was a prolific lithographer and landscape artist whose travels in Greece, Italy, and Egypt inspired many of his works.
