About the piece
This 1820 watercolor by William Page presents a picturesque view of the Athenian Acropolis. Using a traditional 'repoussoir' technique, the artist frames the distant classical ruins with detailed, ancient trees, capturing the romanticized atmosphere of archaeological travel in the early 19th century.
