Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
remains 102.I oppose instantly to the mass of the Coliseumthe most perfect work I know of the delicatest architecture derived from it, combining the most exquisite materials in marble and metal with elaborate fresco-painting. This building of Fra Giocondo cannot be surpassed in fineness of proportion or in delicate application of local colour. A portion of the facade drawn by M.r. Bunney is placed among our working drawings, but, though finished with extreme care, gives only a feeble idea of the beauty of its colour, which by my request was only represented as it is, that is to say, in a much faded condition. The original tone of it may be sufficiently imagined from the next example.
