Which ones look the best?
Which ones do you like the most?
How come that pillars never go out of fashion?
>>1005903
That picture is missing Persian columns
>>1005903
Why do Greek Corinthian and Roman Composite look the same?
>>1005903
egypte
grecque corinthien
>>1005930
Who stole first?
>>1005903
Roman Tuscan or Greek Corinthian.
These are the only correct choices.
>>1005972
The Roman Tuscan order is a column style based on the Greek Doric order. Roman architects adopted the column styles of the Greeks, but they did not always do so in a precise manner. The Roman column style known as the Tuscan order is considered to be a degenerate from of the Greek Doric style because it is the least ornate order in the canon of classical column orders, although it is also viewed by some architectural historians as the most solid.
>>1006001
Roman Tuscan looks so boring.
>>1005903
Ionic.
>>1005903
Greek Corinthian, Roman Composite
>>1005903
Is there a fucking thing Ancient Romans didn't steal or attempt to steal?
>>1005903
I absolutely hate corinthian. Doric or ionic is the only way to go
>>1006219
Why do you hate the best and the most intricate style?
>>1006274
Honestly it doesn't look good on buildings. In Athens all the corinthian buildings just look odd. If you have corinthian columns you have to paint the frieze. With doric or ionic columns you can leave it the marble white.
>>1006008
I only like it because of its simple styling, but between the two I'd pick the Corinthian.
>>1006075
>Is there a fucking thing Ancient Romans didn't improve or attempt to improve
ftfy
>>1006075
I mean cmon what did the Roman's ever do for us
Roman doric are the finest
What style are the Pantheon columns? I like those the most.
>>1005903
Egyptian just because, but the greek doric has a simply beauty to it and is probably best in modern architecture
>>1006075
literally the gypsies of the ancient world
>>1006334
They are blank, you pleb.
>>1005903
Roman Tuscan. It's powerful, masculine and simple.
>How come that pillars never go out of fashion?
Most of the core fundamentals of Roman and Greek architecture are still in fashion for governmental and upper class buildings.
>>1005911
Incidently so is Persia

I like Doric order. There's a certain auhtority to it.

Is it true all of these used to be covered in paint?
If so, then why do the neoclassicist buildings lack color of classical architecture?
>>1007861
There are good and bad Corinthian columns?
>>1007887
I don't think the building itself was covered in paint, but I'm fairly certain statues were.
>>1005903
What it is with classical architecture being the ultimate architectural style?
Seriously, that stuffs look brilliant in every form. It's good being built, being finished, and being a ruin. It looks amazing 2000 years ago, and now.
Modernist building look like crap in every form.

had to look this up tbqh
>>1007887
No. Some were probably painted, same as statues, but the whole "everything was painted in ancient greece" is nothing but a pop-history maymay; there are numerous period sources referencing intentionally unpainted stonework.
>>1007927
Because they discovered formulae that made aesthetically pleasing buildings and stuck to them, the Romans codified it even further and then later yuros rediscovered Vitruvius.

>>1007887
Neo-classicism can seem a bit forced though, eg Washington DC. The number of columns in that city is fucking ridiculous.

What is this place?
Greek ionic
love those swirls, always have
>tfw my dad was a classical nerd and made me memorise all types of columns when I was 8
>>1005903
Greek Ionic.
Just enough detail to be interesting, yet remains elegant.
>>1005903
I'm a big fan of the Ionic.
It's the perfect balance of beauty. You retain most of the masculinity of the Doric while adding a touch of feminine flair to the ends. The Aeolic might be a little too effete though.
Oh and anything derived from Corinthian, including Composite, is overdesigned garbage.
>>1012854
if I had to guess its perspolis
or whats left of it
>>1007887
Not really. Certain decorations would be painted in gold or a primary color, but 99% of the time the columns would retain their original color.
Etruscans however made most of their columns out of wood and definitely painted them. The Romans retained that practice in certain situations as well.
>>1007898
no, only bad
>>1014187
ionic as hell
>>1014232
no shit
pretty much everything they had was a copypaste of the local cultures from the murals and statues to the written language with a indo-european mix to it, like the bovines on the column heads
>>1014250
Are you saying that Greeks were thieves?
>>1015055
in what sense did the greeks do that? everything the greeks borrowed from other cultures, they put an unmistakable greek spin on it. greek statues look nothing like egyptian statues despite following early archetypes, greek columns look nothing like egyptian columns, etc.
whereas the persians would literally have an assyrian lamasu flanking a greek column, with little to no "persianization".
>>1014250
>picture of persepolis showing a assyrian figurine
>greek type column with bovine head in the background
>somehow greeks are the thieves
how the fuck do you even come to that conclusion?
>>1014250
Were Persians black? Or at least sand negros?
