Roman Colour and Texture

To understand some of the reasons why Rome is unforgettable we last looked at pure Roman colour.

Now lets move up a layer to see how colour works with texture:

flowers and vegetation

framed in stone

framed in carved marble

colour, stone and cement

pure texture

random colours working well together

erosion adding a sense of age

erosion by water

colour in three dimensions

ancient elements

flat colour and stone

shadow

always erosion

raking side-light

the beauty of wear and tear

shadow and blazing sun

and at the end of every day a mellowing.
