The subject of this watercolour are the seven remaining monolithic columns of the Temple of Apollo at Corinth dating from 550-530 BCE built in the Doric style on the site of an earlier temple. Behind, on the top of a rocky outcrop, is the ancient Acropolis of Corinth, originally fortified but with later Frankish and Venetian additions to those fortifications.
