Description
Українська: Храм Гефеста в Афінах, Джеймс «Афінянин» Стюарт
Ελληνικά: Ο πίνακας απεικονίζει τον ναό του Ηφαίστου στο Θησείο στην Οθωμανική Αθήνα το 1751. O ναός ευρίσκεται βορειοδυτικά της Ακροπόλεως και στην βορειοδυτική πλευρά της αρχαίας Αθηναϊκής Αγοράς. Βλέπουμε Αθηναίους Αρβανίτες χωρικούς να λιχνίζουν σιτηρά στο χώρο μπροστά στον ναό, ρίχνοντας τον καρπό ψηλά, ενώ φυσάει το μεσογειακό αεράκι. Ένας Τούρκος υπηρέτης μαζί με τον υιό του αφεντικού του τους δίνουν εντολές τι να κάνουν. Ένας άλλος Αρβανίτης μαζί με την γυναίκα του και το παιδί του κάθονται κάτω από τον ίσκιο ενός λυόμενου υπόστεγου, που το ονομάζουν «καλύβι». Οι Αρβανίτες είναι χριστιανικός ορθόδοξος πληθυσμός που ασχολείται με την γεωργία και ομιλούν την δική τους γλώσσα. Το υπέδαφος μπροστά στο ναό έχει διαβρωθεί από τις βροχές και φαίνεται ο στερεοβάτης. Στο βάθος διακρίνουμε το βουνό Υμηττό και τον λόφο Λυκαβηττού (δεξιά) και τα Τουρκοβούνια (αριστερά).

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1788, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
