The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, as envisioned by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, is a significant work in the history of architectural illustration and Baroque architecture. Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656–1723) was an Austrian architect, sculptor, and architectural historian, who played a pivotal role in introducing the Baroque style to Austria and is considered one of the most important architects of the Baroque period in Central Europe. His imaginative reconstruction of the Temple of Diana (Artemision) at Ephesus is part of his seminal work "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" (A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture), first published in 1721. This publication was one of the first and most influential comparative studies of architectural history, illustrating both known and speculative reconstructions of significant buildings from various cultures and time periods.

The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, also known as the Artemision, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, celebrated for its grandeur and artistic beauty. However, by Fischer von Erlach's time, it had long been destroyed, and little visual evidence of its structure remained. Fischer von Erlach's depiction, therefore, was not only an attempt to reconstruct the ancient wonder based on available descriptions and archaeological evidence but also a creative endeavor that blended historical knowledge with Baroque artistic sensibilities. His illustration presents the temple as a grandiose structure, characterized by dramatic proportions, elaborate decorations, and a dynamic interplay of architectural elements, embodying the Baroque era's fascination with spectacle and the sublime.

Fischer von Erlach's work on the Temple of Diana at Ephesus is notable for its influence on subsequent architectural thought and its role in the early development of historical architecture as a field of study. While his reconstruction is recognized today as more reflective of Baroque aesthetics than accurate historical depiction, it remains a key example of the imaginative and interdisciplinary approach to architectural history in the early modern period. Through his visionary illustrations, Fischer von Erlach not only contributed to the architectural knowledge of his time but also inspired future generations of architects, historians, and artists to explore the intersections of history, art, and architecture.
