This watercolor transports me to another time, a scene bathed in the warm glow of the Mediterranean sun. The artist skillfully captures the weathered grandeur of an ancient temple, its columns reaching towards a pale sky. The composition draws the eye, first to the temple's intricate details, the fluted columns, and the subtle textures of the stone, then outwards toward the vast landscape that unfolds in the distance; it feels serene, yet also imbued with a sense of history and the passage of time.
