TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS THE HUNTRESS
6.5in high, 6.5in wide, 11in deep & 9lbs approximately.
A model of the Temple of Artemis the Huntress. This model is a reproduction of a Sir John Soane's museum collection piece. The original was created by the legendary french model maker Francois Fouquet in the early 1800's. The temple was built in Athens on the banks of the Ilissus probably by Kallicrates. Today the temple is a ruin but was stunning in its day, in the words of the museum curator "Nothing can surpass the extreme simplicity and elegance of this composition. The beautifully proportioned columns, the angular capitals, and simple entablature are most happy effects of the refinement and elegant taste of the enlightened people to whom this work owes its origin."
Our model is produced in plaster and displayed under an acrylic case.

The monument is most likely a simplified copy of the famous tomb of Mausolus in Halicarnassus. The structure has distinctive square corner piers and oval-section columns that support the heavy roof.
