Pheidias and the Frieze of the Parthenon by Lawrence Alma-Tadema circa 1868. Oil on Wood. A painted scene imagining 430s BC in Athens, when Pheidias the sculptor would've first revealed his work on the Frieze in the Parthenon temple. It asserts the idea that the original Frieze would've had painted surface decoration. This painting shows Alma-Tademas almost photo realistic style, and incredible grasp of perspective. Alma-Tadema lived between 1836-1912. (Photo by: Universal History Archive/UIG via Getty Images)
