Description
This print depicts a restoration section of an ancient Greek temple in Paestum, Italy, likely the Temple of Poseidon or Temple of Hera II. Subject Matter: The image is an architectural cross-section drawing of a hexastyle (six-column front) Doric temple, showing its internal structure and column arrangement. Origin: This illustration is likely from a 18th century publication documenting the ruins of Paestum, such as Claude-Mathieu de Delagardette's Les Ruines de Paestum (1799) or Thomas Major's Les Ruines de Paestum (1768). Context: The text in the image ("Section of the Hexastyle... / Coupe du Temple...") indicates it is a study focusing on the structural form of the temple, which was part of the ancient city of Posidonia in Magna Graecia
