Part of a hidden Doric columned temple at Lindos on the Island of Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, Greece. Founded by the Dorians led by the King Tlepolemus of Rhodes, Lindos became a major trading centre by the 8th century. In medieval times most buildings fell into disuse and in the 14th century many were partly overlaid by a massive fortress built on the acropolis by the knights of St John to defend the island against the Ottomans. The acropolis is one of the greatest sites in the world.

[The Colossus of Rhodes.] Die der Sonnen gemidttmete Wünder-Statua, Colossus zü Rhodis [...] Le merveilleux Colosse de Rhodes dedié au Soleil [...]
J: B: F: v: E: delin:
[Leipzig, 1725.]
Engraving with very large margins. 305 x 430mm (12 x 17"). Spotting, creasing.
The Colossus of Rhodes, standing astride the entrance to the harbour. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was built in BC 280, when it was one of the tallest statues in the world. It stood for a little over 50 years, brought down by an earthquake in BC 226. The plate was published in Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's 'Entwürst Einer Historischen Architectur', a study of the architecture of the ancient world. Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was a successful Austrian architect: his baroque works include the Schönbrunn Palace, Karlskirche, and the Austrian National Library in Vienna. He also studied ancient architecture, publishing 'A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture' in 1721, taking on classical influences in his building.
