Athens through the eyes of the wanderers - from the 15th until the early 20th century.

Athens begun to emerge as a stop on the paths of the travelers of the 16th century. And until the 17th century remained a place more alive in the minds of Western scholars, who from the Renaissance and onwards started to study more the Ancient Greek literature and philosophy and later the archaeo-Roman art. Around 1674-75 the Athens enters drastically in the European consciousness with the first detailed topographical drawings of the city and with the growing interest on related publications. The story of its depiction, a story that didn't stop even for a minute through the centuries to exercise charm on every visitor, had begun.
