Charm of lighting in colonnades against Pompeian red walls; three half

globes in cups at rear of plain columns.

Fountains of Four Seasons, illumination of red walls against intense

blue of sky, in early evening like color in paintings by Maxfield

Parrish. Concealed lights, red, orange, yellow and lemon, fall on walls

and create interesting luminous shadows on fountain figures.

concealed, but also reflection of sources, an effect that, it was

predicted, could not be achieved.

Figures on fountains reflected in green water.

Reflections in pool in center of court; from north, half dome and figure

of "Harvest" above dome; from south, the bulls on the pylons.

intense white light of scintillator directly opposite court; statute of

"Ceres," silhouetted against rays.

Banners in court, no heraldic designs.

Half dome in Court of Four Seasons; even distribution of light, ceiling

lighted from base of dome, lights diffused through dome and softly

graded down to floor by ten shell lamps up wall, back of vertical

projection on each side.
