What is the difference between an Ionic and Corinthian column?
1 Answer
The difference between an Ionic column and a Corinthian column relates to its details. Generally, Corinthian columns have more complex designs than Ionic columns and feature acanthus leaf details. Ionic columns occur in both Greek and Roman architecture, while Corinthian columns were more common in Rome than in Greece. You can find a selection of Ancient Greek and Roman art on 1stDibs.
