1925
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Tepidarium, Baths of Caracella is a 1925 by David Young Cameron, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a large, dimly lit room with a high ceiling. The room is filled with rows of stone columns and arches, and the walls are lined with stone blocks. In the center of the room, there is a large, rectangular pool of water. The painting is done in muted colors, with shades of gray, brown, and beige dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a peaceful oasis. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, you might want to look up some of his other works.
Sir David Young Cameron (28 June 1865 – 16 September 1945) was a Scottish painter and, with greater success, etcher, mostly of townscapes and landscapes in both cases. He was a leading figure in the final decades of the Etching Revival.
