Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded  the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Machine translation of the original French narrative: Augustus erected, in the middle of his Forum, a magnificent temple to Mars Avenger, in memory of the victory of Philippi and of the vengeance he had taken on Caesar's murderers. It is the first temple dedicated to the god of war, built in the interior of Rome. Of this building, there remains only a part of the portico, three high Corinthian columns and a pilaster supporting the architrave, as well as a fragment of the side wall of the cella. It is one of the most beautiful remains of Roman architecture. As Ampère says, "this monument still holds the chaste style proper to the buildings of the republic so close to the Greek elegance, it already holds the majestic and grandiose style of the empire. It is a transition in art". Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy! Any print purchased from me may be returned for any (or no) reason for a full refund including all postage.
