This temple print captures a quiet contrast you won’t find in guidebooks, the supple Temple of Venus standing softly on the edge of Baalbek’s ruins, facing a new world of rising buildings and restless cities.
Sketched by hand with gentle strokes and attention to every curve, this piece holds a unique moment where history and modern life meet.
Unlike the grand scale of other temples in Baalbek, the Temple of Venus is small, delicate, and full of charm.
Past fact: It was once believed to be a temple for the goddess Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, this temple was once a symbol of divine femininity, a place where grace lived in stone, and where desire met devotion under the open sky, but later research suggested it might have been dedicated to another local god. Still, the name remained, and so did its beauty, with its circular shape, elegant columns, and view toward the valley.
It stands just outside the main archaeological site, often forgotten, and yet, it holds a kind of quiet strength. The kind that whispers rather than shouts.
