Ruins of Roman Theatre at Arles, Columns of the Proscenium is a 1886 watercolor by Fulleylove, a Impressionism work, depicting Column, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a broken stone column standing in the middle of old ruins. Behind it, there’s a half-collapsed stone theater with steps leading up. A few small buildings and a church tower sit in the background, under a pale sky. The ground is uneven, with patches of grass and dirt. The column looks ancient, with cracks and missing pieces at the top. The artist used soft colors—mostly grays, browns, and a little green—to show the worn stones and ruins.
