The Tower Of The Winds Drawing

From "The Solace of Antiquity" series. The Tower of the WInds, Roman Agora, Athens, Greece. Classical antiquity is omnipresent in Greece, woven into the cultural legacy of the country physically, psychologically and intellectually. It is an immense, epic, unavoidable, and at times, mysterious presence, mostly manifest through its architecture. This drawing project, started in July 2019, explores the themes of omnipresence, permanence/impermanence, and solace. I did a field sketch in pencil of the “The Tower of the Winds” or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes (an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower) in the #RomanAgora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is an iconic little building, very distinct in its shape and function. It is considered the world's first meteorological station. This is a finished drawing of the same.
