“Almost every rock, every promontory, every river, is haunted by the shadows of the mighty dead,” wrote the English antiquarian Edward Dodwell of his travels in Greece at the beginning of the nineteenth century. During this time, he and the Italian artist Simone Pomardi traversed the country, producing around one thousand watercolors and drawings of the ancient Greek countryside.

The Getty Villa will offer the exhibit: "Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium From Greek Collections" in Los Angeles, CA.
