Description
This is no phantasy and no gothic, it's a reconstruction of the greek Olympia I work on. I put only things in this picture that are known and reconstructed the buildings. Only the statues on the soil are placeholders for many different statues standing there. Normaly there are statues in the pediment of the Hera temple, but there are no remains for reconstructions to know how they would have been.
I make this for a historical website and for a book one day.
People mostly believe, greek temples were simple white buildings. But that's not true. They were colorfull painted and mostly build with the local stone and the local stones have mostly a lightly yellow finish. The Hera Temple belongs to the early examples of the classical era. The columns were made of wood, but changed with stone made columns in the years.
Modelled in Rhino3D, rendered in Cinema4D.
