Excavations at St Remy

Roger Fry 1866 - 1934

Summary

View of archaeological excavations at St Remy de Provence in France, bathed in sunlight, with rugged hills visible in the background. Remains of a ruined Roman structure occupy the foreground and middleground of the image in sand coloured stone. Two cottages are just visible behind light green trees and shrubs. The sky is bright blue with thin, white clouds. There is much tonal contrast and simple, bold depictions are used.
