I'm Kenney Mencher. I'm an artist who left a tenured professorship in 2016 to pursue making art full time. This blog is about art, art history, with a emphasis on human rights. I make homoerotic art featuring bears, otters & other gay wildlife.

The first one is the colloseum and the second one is called palazzo rucellai, which both are located in Italy. Both are built from heavy on the bottom and light on the top. They also compare in the round arched windows. The colloseum has 80 arches per floor. The palazzo rucellai has a flettened Doric/Tuscan style pilaster on the bottom. Then the next floor is an Ionic and the top layer is Corinthian.
In addition to the previous comments, another function of all of the openings was so that it could be filled and emptied very quickly. The Coloseum also served as a sort of welfare program for the Roman government.
