Campus Martius, Rome · c. 11 BC
A Day at the Theater
The Theater of Marcellus stands in the southern Campus Martius, near the Tiber and the Forum Holitorium, Rome's vegetable market. Julius Caesar planned a great theater on the site, and Augustus completed it, naming it for Marcus Claudius Marcellus, the son of his sister Octavia and husband of his daughter Julia. Marcellus died in 23 BC at about nineteen, and Virgil mourned him in the Aeneid. The theater was dedicated between 13 and 11 BC; the ancient sources disagree on the year.
It was built of travertine over concrete, with arcades framed by half-columns, Doric on the ground floor and Ionic above. That system of stacked arches and orders was later used on a grander scale at the Colosseum. Roman theaters staged comedy, tragedy, mime and pantomime, often during public festivals, and canvas awnings could be stretched over the seats against the sun.
In the Middle Ages the building became a fortress for Roman noble families. In the sixteenth century the architect Baldassare Peruzzi built a palace into its upper levels, and people still live there today, above the ancient arches.
The piece
The painting stands in the crowd outside the theater. The curved facade sweeps from the left edge deep into the picture, its arches bright against the shade inside. The eye moves from the vendor and the young woman in blue in the foreground to the man in the bordered toga, then along the curve to three tall columns standing against the sky on the right.

Size guide
Find the right size
This piece, to scale, above an 84-inch sofa. Pick a size, or a format and frame above, and the wall follows.
Which size?
Sizes are the artwork's. Frames and hangers add a little around the edge.
Above a sofa or bed, art looks best at about two-thirds of the furniture's width, hung 8 to 10 inches above it.
