The picture above is one of the most interesting pictures we have discussed in class. The light, form, and color run profusely throughout the picture. Although this picture does not show the entire building, you can still get a taste of its character. It seems as though parts of the building may have large ceilings and other parts may have smaller ceilings; if this is true, then the space may make me feel two kinds of ways: small in the space and large in the space. The architecture seems complex and unified. The light from the sun is bright and it only shines on specific objects within the architecture. It shines on the edge of the wall to the left as well as far left column. There are some effects of light throughout the picture but it isn't prevalent and define. The lighting in the building is soft. The light and the color gives the building a warm feeling. The light is obviously not even throughout the painting.

The decoration of the building makes me more aware of the building. The decoration does not necessarily disguise it at all. I will proclaim that the decoration adds to the architecture of the building. The decoration obviously integrates with the building and seems inevitable. The color is probably one of the most important characteristics about this picture. The color helps guide our eyes throughout the picture, and with the affects of the light, it gives the color meaning and does not contrast from the architecture. Although we cannot see the building to its entirety, we are fortunate enough to see that there is a distinct rhythm in the picture. The rhythm of the windows at the top of the picture, and the rhythm of the columns through the middle of the picture. The lines throughout the middle of the picture have a distinctive rhythm throughout the entire picture. The most distinctive feature would most definitely have to be the columns, which is prevalent in architecture during the time this building was constructed.
