"The Parthenon from the Southeast" is an oil painting by the eminent American landscape artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900). Created in 1871, this artwork captures the grandeur and historical significance of the ancient Greek temple, the Parthenon, situated on the Acropolis in Athens. Church, a central figure in the Hudson River School of painting, was renowned for his detailed and dramatic landscapes that often depicted exotic and far-flung locations. His visit to Greece in 1869 provided the inspiration for this particular work.

Measuring 44.5 x 72.6 cm (17 1/2 x 28 9/16 in.), the painting is part of the collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. "The Parthenon from the Southeast" stands out as an example of Church's later work, where he shifted his focus from the New World to the Old World, exploring the rich cultural heritage and classical landscapes of Europe and the Middle East. This painting is particularly notable for its meticulous attention to the architectural details of the Parthenon, as well as the interplay of light and shadow, which imbues the scene with a sense of timelessness and reverence for the ancient world.

Church's portrayal of the Parthenon also reflects the 19th-century American and European fascination with classical antiquity, which was seen as a source of intellectual and aesthetic inspiration. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the enduring legacy of ancient Greece and its influence on Western civilization. "The Parthenon from the Southeast" is a testament to Frederic Edwin Church's skill as a master landscape artist and his ability to convey the sublime beauty and historical resonance of his subjects.
