Extract

Though I can hardly hope to justify it, I must record (as having given the impulse to this study) my impression that it was not so much the art of his days, as the theories built thereon, which led Plato to such definitions of the skiagraphia as ‘essentially servile and devoid of reality and truth,’ as ‘not altogether true nor pure,’ as ‘unclear and misleading,’ and as ‘an inferior coupled to an inferior and producing inferior offspring.’

My son Gijs, who studies architecture, made this figure for me from Benndorff's plate corrected by the photographs, indicating in broken lines what could be restored with certainty or was most probably indicated by painting on the original. Studying the exact forms of the akroterion in the temple, his attention was drawn by some forms in the tympanon. As he had sketched them I could not fail to recognise the bust of a winged figure, archaic in form, some Nike, as that of Arcliermos, or a Gorgon, as in the temple of Corfu.
