Columns of the Temple of Juno, Girgenti

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows ancient ruins with large, vertical columns and remnants of architecture against a dramatic sky. The viewpoint appears to be from the base of the ruins looking towards the horizon. The sky and stonework are depicted with heavy, textured lines in shades of gray and black. Some columns are standing while others are damaged, with cliffs or hills in the background.
