Thank you Jim. The whole thing is slowly growing towards a proper scene(s)
background, but the exercice in itself is hugely rewarding too. For some
years now I have been prowling around Piranesi too, when speaking about
visionary artists. They all have something very attractive for pov scenes.

I remeber when you started talking about how the heroic architecture of
Boullee and others would make for great renders. And now you have
quietly brough that desire to fruition. The framing of the cenotaph
with a sense of grand containing geometries really gives the image power.

geometrical design would smootly integrate into a render. All the credit
was more than visionnary and also embedded in a practical and esthetic
framework. It is difficult to reproduce the classical/pre-romantic mood of
his engravings and I shall probably not attempt to do that, but I am
fascinated by the mind of this late 18th century man who dreamt of such
atypical and yet familiar (to us) structures. I think that he would have
been very pleased to meet Frank Lloyd Wright in particular. There are very
similar elements in their designs, not in the last place in their concept of
what he called "buried architecture". Wright would have known exactly what
he meant.
