#aedicula

[donnodubus]

The Reims Stela (Autel de Reims) is one of the more impressive and complete survivals of Cernunnos iconography.

Because the weathered stone is so dull, I've always wanted to see it restored to its former polychromy glory — so I experimented with some digital colorization!

FRANCESCO ARENA. lo starec

Le opere di Francesco Arena sono processi plastici che nascono dalle forme geometriche tipiche dell’arte Minimal e da quelle più archetipiche dell’Arte Povera

Porte des Lilas:

Monday Metro… Porte des Lilas (District 20 - Line 3bis & 11 - Exit 1 avenue Gambetta), Saint-Fargeau (District 20 - Line 3bis - Only one Exit) & Pelleport (District 20 - Line 3bis - Only one Exit)

I was going to post those 3 stations separately but they are identical in the form of an original aedicula with bas-reliefs and earthenware decoration, designed in 1922 by Charles Plumet. Because of the great depth of the platforms, it has a pair of elevators surrounded by a series of fixed stairs. The same model of kiosk, specific to line 3 bis, is only found at those three surrounding stations: Porte des Lilas, Saint-Fargeau & Pelleport.

Here a niche, there a niche, everywhere a niche - Syracuse, Sicily

The Roman/Latin term for these is aedicula (singular) or aediculae (plural). They could be household shrines, tabernacles within temples and churches, or part of the decorative architecture of buildings. They can be seen on the walls and corners of buildings all over Europe, usually with a statue or image of a saint.

Architectural Design of the Library, facade roof

The Library of Celsus in Ephesus, Selçuk/Turkey

.

The Library of Celsus is considered an architectural marvel and is one of the only remaining examples of 'great libraries of the ancient world' located in the Roman Empire.

It was the third-largest library in the Greco-Roman world behind only those of Alexandria and Pergamum, believed to have held around 12,000 scrolls.

Celsus is buried in a crypt beneath the library in a decorated marble sarcophagus. The interior measured roughly 180 square metres (2,000 square feet).

[...]

The library is built on a platform, with nine steps the width of the building leading up to three front entrances. These are surmounted by large windows, which may have been fitted with glass or latticework.

Plan of the Library of Celsus

Flanking the entrances are four pairs of Composite columns elevated on pedestals. A set of Corinthian columns stands directly above. The columns on the lower level frame four aediculae containing statues of female personifications of virtues: 

Sophia (wisdom), Episteme (knowledge), 

Ennoia (intelligence), and Arete (excellence).

The four statues of the female virtues are not originals, but were replaced with four random female statues. These virtues allude to the dual purpose of the structure, built to function as both a library and a mausoleum; their presence both implies that the man for whom it was built exemplified these four virtues, and that the visitor may cultivate these virtues in him or herself by taking advantage of the library's holdings.

This type of façade with inset frames and niches for statues is similar to that of the skene found in ancient Greek theatres and is thus characterized as "scenographic".
