Framed Colosseum Artwork
The Coliseum was built in the first century under the rule of Emperor the Vespasian who wanted to take gladiator fights and public spectacles to the next level. It was supposed to be the largest amphitheater ever erected and even though it took eight years for the entire structure to be completed, expectations were met and exceeded. Even though a part of the structure has collapsed, it is still one of the most impressive buildings in the world and FramedArt.com has Framed Colosseum Art that speaks for itself.
Framed Colosseum Art sometimes incorporates other impressive buildings located nearby, such as the Roman Forum. The structure is made exclusively of stone and concrete and it managed to retain the title of the largest amphitheater for almost 2000 years. Other Roman emperors decided to make slight modifications of the structure, to hold more spectators or to make it suitable for enacting famous battles.
It is estimated that almost 80,000 spectators could fit in and watch shows of impressive scale, a purpose that the Colosseum has served for hundreds of years. During the medieval times, it was no longer used for entertainment and over the course of centuries it fell into a state of disrepair. The images painted by Framed Colosseum Art highlight the fact that the structure is nowadays in ruins, with earthquakes taking their toll. Even so, it remains one of the key landmarks of Rome and a symbol of its imperial power.
