Classical Themes

The architecture of classical Greece & Rome left an enduring legacy that was embraced and enhanced
by the artisans of the Renaissance who admired the grace & proportion of the Classical style.
The decorative styles of 18th & 19th century homes often drew on classical conventions

Trompe l'oeil techniques can add architectural distinction to a plain interior by creating
the illusion of carved pediments over doorways, stone blocking, panelling amd mouldings.

Classical detailing can be incorporated into a painted vista, such as a balustrade to frame the view,
or a crumbling ruin in the distance.
