RE: Tsarskoye Selo in black and white
Dear friend, first of all, thank you very much for the detail of quenching my curiosity. I agree with you in the color of the painting, which possibly subtracts that nostalgic and romantic appeal with which I understand it was designed. I find it very interesting what you are saying about following the model of the ancient Turkish towers, because for centuries the Turkish influence in Europe was particularly intense. Gardens are always fascinating, especially when they are made with this type of element. The great architect Antoni Gaudí was fascinated by buildings in ruins or in semi-ruins and he found inspiration in them, because somehow, they combined that Byzantium syndrome that the poet Gabriel Celaya sang, which is nothing more than the ineffable step of the weather. Beautiful photographs and a beautiful place that I would like to visit someday. Hugs
