Moulding and Ornamentation


Under the influence of Longinus's rhetoric, shadows and the play of light became increasingly emphasized. The interiors of rooms, not only the exteriors of buildings were also subject to shadows and light. Moulding and other forms of architectural ornamentation of different kinds created shadows, and these mouldings could also be combined, and be found on the outsides of buildings, as well as within different rooms.
