The Roman series, by Romarino, dis plays misty water colors of ancient Ro man ruins and shadowed arches; Tyrolean cabins and mountain streams. Perhaps most beautiful of all in this collection is the picture of the Chapel of St. Maria of the People. Its tall pillars and wide arches lend a sense of space and height. It breathes stillness and peace.
