Pheidas
and the Frieze of the Parthenon |

|
| This picture was painted in 1869, making it a fairly early example of the artists work. It is, though, a striking example of his virtuosity, having wonderful effects of light, shadow, & perspective. In common with all Alma-Tademas ancient scenes, it is thoroughly well-researched as a piece of ancient historical record. |
