Parthenon, Athens: conjectural reconstruction of the colours of the entablature

RIBA98048
Iktinos (5thC BC)
NOTES: Semper planned a work entitled ÔÇÿDie Anwendung der Farben in der Architektur und PlastikÔÇÖ (The Use of Colour in Architecture and Sculpture) which was to consist of a collection of chromolithographed plates, issued on subscription, with separate fascicules devoted to a restoration of the Doric order, the Ionic order, the Corinthian order, and examples of polychromy in Etruscan, Roman and Christian works. In 1836 proof prints of a mere six plates were all that were produced. The print catalogued here is one of five presented by Semper to the Royal Institute of British Architects on January 12, 1852, the evening when Thomas Donaldson presented a paper ÔÇÿOn polychromatic embellishments in Greek architectureÔÇÖ.
