A metope is a part placed above the columns of Greek temple architecture and similar structures, usually adorned with narrative sculptures. Szymanowski traveled along the Mediterranean coast in the 1910s, drawing numerous creative inspirations from ancient and Islamic cultures. This work is also one of the results of that. The compositional style is impressionistic and extremely intricate.
