The Temple of Concordia by Girgenti 1819 - 1822

Franz Ludwig Catel's "The Temple of Concordia by Girgenti" (1819-1822) is a Romantic landscape painting depicting the Temple of Concordia in Agrigento, Sicily. Painted in a realistic style, the artwork showcases the temple's grandeur against a backdrop of a luminous sunset. The soft hues of the sky, the subtle details of the surrounding landscape, and the temple's silhouette create a sense of awe and historical reverence. The painting exemplifies the Romantic era's fascination with ancient ruins and their connection to the past. It is now part of the Statens Museum for Kunst's collection.
