Watercolor journey with the course Roman Architecture by the Yale University.

I continue the stay-at-home travel Art + Roman Architecture + the city of Rome with Yale’s course Roman Architecture https://www.coursera.org/learn/roman-architecture. Introduction. Roman Tombs, Aqueducts, and the lasting impact of Roman Architecture. 1-5

The ancient Supermarket Trajan’s Market (Mercati di Traiano) was a large complex of bazaar with series of shops. The Trajan Forum was the dream place for any fashion and shopping lovers. This was the first supermarket, all subsequent supermarkets in Rome and around the world built in the same way. The Forum of Trajan has characteristics of ancient Roman street design, beautiful and magic architecture, frozen music in stone.

Our family visited the Grand Canyon several years ago and my impression of this natural, earth-made architecture with its rocks, relief mountains reminds me of Roman architecture with its ancient buildings’ rounded windows, beams, doors, ribbed ceilings and columns. Roman architects definitely took their ideas from nature and reflected in Trajan’s design, the architectural genius arose from previous architectural revolutionary innovations.

Art and Travel. – Rome, Palatine Hill, Romulus Founds Rome.

Artist, Roman Architecture, Uncategorized, Urban sketching, Voyage

Watercolor journey with the course Roman Architecture by the Yale University.

I continue the stay-at-home travel Art + Roman Architecture + the city of Rome with Yale’s course Roman Architecture https://www.coursera.org/learn/roman-architecture. Rome, Palatine Hill, Romulus Founds Rome, Roman Architecture. 2-1.

Romulus founded the city of Rome and on Palatine Hill and archaeologists still find the remains of that village and houses from which the Roman Empire began to expand. It is difficult to imagine that on this huge passage there was once a small village, which was dug into a wonderful city, my beloved Rome. According to the legend, Romulus founded the City of Rome, on the 21st of April in 753 BC. Romulus village had huts made of wood that thatched roofs. There are similar huts in a small village in the Maya Riviera near Cancun. Anyone who will visit this place might imagine that they are in a future city of Rome of the 8 century BC.

The Palatine Hill is the oldest inhabited one in Rome. Actually, the name of the hill comes from the name of the goddess Pales – the patroness of cattle. The hill has long been a place for grazing pets and worshiping this goddess. The first permanent settlements appeared here in about 1000 BC, judging by the archaeological artefacts appeared on the Palatine. There is the Palatine Hill’s archaeological museum with the Romulus House with the model of huts in the village of the Iron Age.

Several years ago I was in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, near the reproduced images of the Romulus village at the Palatine and Capitoline Hills; I stared in these pictures with fascination to find more information. Who would have known that in a few years I will learn about the Roman architecture and I will have the opportunity to understand why I was so delighted?

Art and Travel. Pompeii, bakeries and millstones. Watercolor journey with the course Roman Architecture by the Yale University.

Artist, Roman Architecture, Uncategorized, Urban sketching, Voyage

I continue the stay-at-home travel Art + Roman Architecture + the city of Rome with Yale’s course Roman Architecture https://www.coursera.org/learn/roman-architecture. Introduction. Bathing, Entertainment, and Housing in the Roman City. 1-4.

This lecture is about “Bread and circuses”, this allegoric phrase said by Juvenal, the Roman poet.  Pompeii, the Italian city that was buried in volcanic ash following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, gives us the sense of what life was like almost 2000 years ago. You can imagine the daily life with bathing, shopping and housing during the eruption of Vesuvius in ancient Roman times.

My painting for this session is about the ancient bakery – an arched brick oven with a view of the millstones in Pompeii. The millstones have square sockets in which wooden beams would have been placed. In fact, all modern ovens still retain the design of those ancient ovens that became a prototype.

If you go to Pompeii, imagine it as an inhabitant of Pompeii, maybe visit a bakery nearby, where you could buy bread, then go to fast-food Thermopolis, an old-aged “McDonalds”, and to a public fountain to take some water. In those days, kitchens, baths and running water were not available in the houses; therefore everything was public including the bath complex, stores and bakeries with paintings on the walls. I don’t know … I still prefer modern comfort, but seeing the beautiful design of public fountains, bakeries, it’s really great to plunge into the past, at least for a short while.
