The ancient Monument of Lysikrates in the Convent of the French Capuchins in Athens (1751)

Summary[edit]

Description
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.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
