Description
Drawing of the Propylaea, entrance to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece by Boitte. Mon. Ant. I, Pl. 25. Printed above drawing: Monuments antiques. "The monumental Propylaia admired by modern visitors were part of the great Periklean building program. They were erected in 437-432 BC, after the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles. The original building plan was particularly daring both in architectural and artistic terms, but was never completed,"--Perseus Digital Library.
