About this motif
Symmetry, columns and light make this view into an abandoned villa an almost classical composition. The decay seems poetic rather than oppressive.
The canvas "Old Villa" (90 x 140 cm) presents an abandoned hall with columns and tall windows. Light and shadow are distributed almost symmetrically across both halves of the picture. The wrought-iron railing runs through the picture like a band of ornament. At 90 x 140 cm the motif almost looks like a real opening and fills lofts, practices or offices.
