Man In The Arena Rome Canvas Wall Art

Man In The Arena Rome makes the scale the whole point. Fifty thousand people in the tiers, and one person on the sand. The image argues the quote before you have read a word of it.

About the design

The Colosseum is rendered from almost directly overhead, tilted just enough to show the outer arcades, its stands filled edge to edge and its floor a pale oval of sand with one tiny figure at the center. The title runs across the top in spaced serif capitals, and a caption line below gives its name, date and seating capacity, the way a museum placard would. A three line excerpt sits at the foot in italic, on bone white. Portrait format, printed as one gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang, with a floating frame available as an upgrade.

Where it works

Pale and architectural, so it suits a home office, a study or a living room where a darker piece would sit heavily. It speaks to anyone who performs in front of an audience, and makes a good gift for a history reader.
