Colonnade in ruins,
watercolor on paper
37 x 26 cm
Framed in a highly original way between two sheets of Plexiglas (a small, barely visible spot on the blue fabric of the passe partout at the bottom). 52 x 41 cm
This beautiful architectural composition, featuring a classic building in ruins, is part of the great tradition of architectural whimsy and fascination with ruins.
Executed with great mastery and a particularly seductive harmony of colour, it's easy to forget that this is a modern work.
