Le Parthénon et le Génie Grec – Émile Boutmy – Paris 1897 | Early Study of the Parthenon
€52.00Le Parthénon et le Génie Grec is an influential work by Émile Boutmy (1835–1906), founder of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (Sciences Po) and member of the Institut de France.
Published in Paris in 1897 by Armand Colin & Cie, this volume examines the Parthenon not merely as an architectural monument, but as a symbolic expression of the Greek intellectual spirit and political culture. Boutmy places classical Athens at the center of European civilization, interpreting the Parthenon as a synthesis of art, reason, and civic ideals.
The book includes an engraved illustration of the Parthenon and reflects the late 19th-century French scholarly fascination with classical Greece, archaeology, and the origins of democratic thought.
