Framed Column Artwork
Architects have been using columns for hundreds of years and even though their role remains the same, the aspect has changed radically. These pillars serve engineering purposes and they are the ones that transmit the weight of the entire structure through compression.
While this makes them an indispensable element of many buildings, they also have their unmistakable charm and it is the purpose of FramedArt.com to emphasize their beauty in Framed Column Art.
Framed Column Art occasionally focus on the details, but only connoisseurs will pay attention to these aspects while the vast majority of those stumbling upon such artwork will appreciate the big picture. Columns can be made of various materials but from ancient times stone was widely chosen, due to the fact that it had the necessary strength to sustain massive structures. They are also suitable for supporting arches or beams, so the combinations are multiple and they are reflected in artwork.
Framed Column Art are not simply reflecting the mundane but instead emphasize the decorative features of these columns. Greeks and Romans knew how to turn even these seemingly ordinary structural elements into things of great beauty. The most celebrated columns to be found in the ancient world were the ones created by Persians and there are even images dedicated to the famous city of Persepolis. Europeans did a fine job at building on existing pillars and new designs were added, with the best-known ones to be found in Athens and Rome.
