The Return of an Elgin Marble

Illustration depicting the repatriation of an Elgin Marble to the Acropolis Museum on the occasion of the grand opening of the new Acropolis Museum in Athens.

 

Of course, this is just wishful thinking from my side - I really believe British 'Parthenon Friezes' should be repatriated and reunited with their Greek brothers and sisters.

 

Started out as an illustration for my 'Lord Elgin's Firman: Permission Granted?' blogpost on Heritage Key, but turned out rather large / high-rez, and is now also an A2 print on the office wall. (So consider pressing 'all sizes' to have a better look. ;))
