I tried another architectural approach for my Corelli illustrations. How would the Hall of Two Thousand Columns look if the vaulting and pillars were Gothic slightly pointed arches rather than the straight perpendicular Roman style? These views of the Gothic Pillar Forest are as far as I went. I decided that the Imperial Roman was better. You can also see here a diagram looking up at the convergence of the arches, and four noblemen in court garb.
