Summary
[edit]DescriptionA view of the Choregic Monument of Lysicrates in its present condition - Stuart James & Revett Nicholas - 1762.jpg |
English: Father Agathangelos in the Convent of the French Capuchins (1751), wherein the ancient Monument of Lysikrates was intergrated (center right). His successor, Italian Father Urban from Genoa, saved the monument--the best preserved ancient choragic (sponsored) monument in Athens--from the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, who planned to take the entire monument to England (1801-1802). The convent was burned down to ruins in 1821, at the beginning of the Greek War of Independence. |
