The bombardment of the Parthenon on 26 September 1687. Watercolour by the eyewitness G. M. Verneda, a Venetian army officer. It is a tragic irony the monument was destroyed at the dawn of the Age of Enlightenment, during which it was destined to be rediscovered by European lovers of antiquity. 0,25x0,72 m. (ΓΕ 23149)
