About Rome Colosseum Wall Art Print

The Colosseum fills the centre and right of the frame, shot from ground level so its tiered arches rise above the paved forecourt. Infrared capture turns the sky an inky blue-black and the foliage bright crimson: a row of tall cypress trees on the left reads as deep red spires, and the trees banked behind the amphitheatre glow pink-red. Towering cumulus cloud sits behind the ruin in white and pale teal. The stonework stays grey-brown, its broken upper rim and rows of open arches clearly legible.

Across the wide grey pavement, small groups of tourists are scattered, their clothes and skin shifted into pinks and reds by the same infrared process. The overall character is a familiar landmark made strange: documentary detail in the architecture, unnatural colour everywhere else, with strong contrast between the black sky and the sunlit cloud.

Suits a living room or hallway with white or charcoal walls, and works well in a home office above a desk. The red and near-black palette pairs with black leather, dark timber and chrome or black metal frames. Hang it alongside other travel photographs, or let the wide format sit alone above a low sideboard. Browse more green art, red art, or read Art above the bed: what size and how high.
